John A Brunjes

I handle a wide variety of transactional corporate and securities law matters for institutional and individual investors, investment funds and their managers, as well as for public and private operating companies. My practice focuses on hedge fund, private equity, venture capital fund formation and operational issues, and illiquid investment transactions, with particular emphasis on advising private domestic and offshore capital pools and their stakeholders. I also advise investment advisers, fund managers, and operating companies on state, federal, and international compliance and enforcement considerations. My investor clients include individuals on the Fortune 400, family offices, ERISA-regulated investors, funds of funds, and other qualified purchasers and qualified institutional buyers. I am a member of the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Hedge Fund Association, and serve as counsel to the Association.
