NEW YORK—Pillsbury’s Investment Funds & Investment Management practice has once again been recognized for its work with startup investment firms and its commitment to superior client service. The firm has been shortlisted in two categories for HFMWeek’s 2016 U.S. Hedge Fund Services Awards: Best Onshore Law Firm – Hedge Fund Startups and Best Onshore Law Firm – Client Service. The awards ceremony will take place October 20 at Cipriani in New York.

Each week, HFMWeek’s awards program recognizes the top U.S. hedge fund service providers that have demonstrated exceptional customer service and innovative product development. Winners are determined by a panel of independent industry experts, who look at a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures. In 2015, Pillsbury was named the best U.S. firm for client service for the fourth time.

Pillsbury’s Investment Funds and Investment Management (IFIM) practice comprises more than two dozen business and litigation lawyers across the firm’s U.S. and international offices. The group represents investment advisers, including hedge fund managers, private equity sponsors and mutual fund advisers; commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors; benefit plans; broker-dealers; and other industry participants in a variety of strategic, regulatory, compliance and enforcement matters; and institutional investors in connection with alternative investment transactions.
