Akin has enhanced its investment management practice by welcoming back Ira P. Kustin as a partner in its New York office. He focuses his practice on the formation and operation of a wide spectrum of private investment fund vehicles and accounts (including hedge, PE and credit funds), as well as on advising global asset managers, mid-size asset managers and emerging managers. For commentary from Kustin, see “PE Sponsors Must Avoid Including Mischaracterized Investments in Track Records or Face SEC Ire” (Jun. 2, 2020); and “How Fund Managers Can Address End-of-Life Issues in Closed-End Funds” (Mar. 19, 2019).
