Maurice Collada Bio

Maurice advises both start-up and seasoned private investment managers in all aspects of their business, including the formation, spinout, structuring and on-going operation of private investment funds and managed accounts of all types. Maurice is also experienced with SEC registration and examination and on-going compliance with the increasingly complex private investment management regulatory regimes. With extensive experience in mature manager operations, Maurice brings a unique, long-term perspective to his clients since he has repeatedly observed how early decisions impact managers later in their life cycle. Maurice’s work with seasoned managers includes numerous private investment fund launches, platform restructurings, investor consent matters, fund re-purposing, varied side letter negotiations, placement agent agreement negotiations, employment and compensation matters, myriad conflicts analyses and fund investment structuring. Maurice also has significant experience with insurance dedicated funds, including launching these specialized investment products, creating related compliance policies and procedures and negotiating with the platform providers and insurance carriers integrally involved in these vehicles. Maurice has been named a New York Metro Rising Star by Super Lawyers since 2017.
