Peter Greene

Partner, Vice Chair, Investment Management Group, Lowenstein Sandler

Greene served as the General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer of a buy-side investment firm earlier in his career, Peter has a unique understanding of his clients’ goals and the nature of their interactions with investors, regulators, auditors, administrators, employees, and outside counsel. Clients refer to Peter as “an exceptional lawyer,” who “combines an excellent business sense with a strong legal background.” Peter divides his time between representing top-50 (by assets under management) hedge fund managers and well-pedigreed managers launching their first funds; he enjoys the differing needs of these two client bases. He advises clients on the formation and structuring of funds and management companies, compliance and regulatory matters, and executive and employee compensation (on both the manager and employee sides). He also has particular expertise in advising clients with respect to insider trading determinations, including with respect to the purchase, analysis, and use of alternative/big data. In all of these areas, Peter strives to be a business-minded, solutions-oriented counselor.

With more than 100 attorneys dedicated to serving fund and investor clients, the Lowenstein Investment Management Group is a leader in the United States, distinguished for excellent client service. Global clients include investment funds and advisers, emerging managers, some of the largest and best known asset managers with AUM in the tens of billions and a range of structures and strategies.
