Managing Partner Martin Cornish Profiled in The Hedge Fund Journal

Martin Cornish, the firm’s Managing Partner, was profiled in The Hedge Fund Journal in an article that looks back over his career in the hedge fund industry. Mr. Cornish began doing tax work for the predecessors of hedge funds in the 1980s, and gradually became an expert on regulatory matters through his work with the same clients. He established his own firm, which later became an affiliate of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP. “We're slightly unusual in that we act for the broker dealers as well as the managers,” he says. “It actually gives us an edge as we understand where both sides are coming from in terms of transactions. Hedge funds are a good example of where the manager is heavily focused and doing a lot of business with brokers as their counterparties. When negotiating documents, understanding exactly how a transaction works, understanding what each side's approach is to those situations can be very helpful.” (“Changing With the Times,” May 2008)
