Fund managers have faced several challenges during the past year, as the coronavirus pandemic has led to numerous increased risks caused by distributed workforces, heightened regulatory scrutiny and increased financial pressure resulting from volatile markets. In addition, increasing awareness of diversity issues as the U.S. faces growing societal awareness of institutional racism and sexism – and calls for reform – have led fund managers to consider ways to bridge gaps in their staffing. To explore these matters, on Wednesday, September 16, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. EDT, the Hedge Fund Law Report (HFLR) and its sister product, the Private Equity Law Report (PELR), will cohost a complimentary webinar entitled “Legal and Compliance Employment Trends in 2020: Staffing, Recruitment, Compensation and Diversity.” The webinar will be moderated by William V. de Cordova, Editor-in-Chief of the HFLR and the PELR, and will feature David Claypoole, president and founder of Claypoole Executive Search; Jennifer J. Pearson, head of human resources and employment counsel at Deerfield Management; and Julie Siegel, executive managing director, chief administrative officer and deputy chief legal officer at Sculptor Capital.
