New addition for financial regulation & investment funds team
Howard Kennedy has appointed financial regulation specialist Daniel Hirschfield to its financial regulation and investment funds team. Daniel joined the firm from Mayer Brown as a senior associate.
Daniel brings to the firm considerable expertise helping regulated businesses across the banking, investment and insurance sectors navigate the UK’s financial services regulatory regime. He offers particular experience in relation to the regulation of funds and their managers under the EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
Daniel says: ”I see this as an excellent opportunity to work with a UK-centric firm that has a growing presence in the City mid-market and to develop my practice as the firm continues to build its own reputation for across-the-board financial regulatory advice.”
Daniel Tunkel, partner and head of financial regulation at Howard Kennedy says: “I am delighted with Daniel’s decision to join the firm, and in effect to rejoin me, as he and I worked together for 18 months in previous stages of our respective careers. I have a lot of respect for what Daniel has achieved in the intervening years and he will be a real asset to Howard Kennedy as we build the firm’s reputation for servicing clients in the financial services sector.”
