Practice

Mr. Greene is a partner in the Asset Management Group.  His practice includes the formation and representation of both U.S. and foreign investment companies, their sponsors, advisers, directors and marketers in all regulatory aspects of fund and investment advisory operations, including

  • SEC registration and exceptions from registration, 
  • SEC inspections and investigations,
  • Fund formation, distribution and marketing, 
  • Registration statements and other filings,
  • Proxy statements and shareholder meetings,
  • Fund board and other governance matters, including participation at board meetings in representation of funds, their advisers and their independent directors,
  • Ongoing compliance with various regulatory requirements and the design and implementation of effective internal policy responses to the same, and
  • Negotiation with service providers, business partners and investors, including in the course of reorganizations, purchases, sales, joint venture structuring and other corporate transactions involving asset management businesses.

Mr. Greene has lectured and written on a broad range of asset management topics, participating as a speaker or panelist at industry conferences sponsored by such organizations as MAR Hedge, Institutional Investor and the National Society of Compliance Professionals.  In October 2006, Mr. Greene chaired and gave the keynote speech at Institutional Investor's Annual New York City Hedge Fund Compliance Seminar.

In addition to asset management matters, Mr. Greene is active in Shearman & Sterling's pro bono asylum and domestic abuse practices, winning a 2002 victory on behalf of a Guatemalan asylum applicant that required a three-day trial in U.S. Immigration Court.  Because that case established new law in its area, it was profiled in the New York Law Journal and is listed in the Lexis Nexis Immigration Law "Immigration Cases of Interest" database.
