Biography

Scott H. Moss is a Partner in Lowenstein Sandler's Investment Management Group, which was selected as one of the preeminent practices in the United States for its representation of hedge funds and other private funds (2011 and 2010) and derivatives/private equity work (2011) by Best Law Firms, published by U.S. News and Best Lawyers. Scott is praised by clients as "excellent" and part of a team that 'always understands the issues at hand, responds very quickly and is able to suggest creative solutions to issues that are often very complicated' (Legal 500, 2012). Scott also leads the firm's Regulatory and Compliance sub-practice.

Scott's extensive experience includes representing offshore and domestic hedge funds, private equity funds, investment advisers, broker-dealers and CPO/CTAs in fund formation and structuring, securities regulation, mergers and acquisitions and other financial transactions. Scott also advises on general corporate matters and agreements among financial professionals, such as placement agent agreements, operating agreements and partnership agreements.

Scott focuses in the areas of investment management, private fund formation, and compliance. He assists clients with: implementing comprehensive compliance programs and integrating them into day to day activities that further the client's business goals, employee training, identifying and correcting potential compliance weaknesses and liability exposure, and developing long-range plans to implement and ensure ongoing compliance with all existing and emerging regulations. Scott is highly respected by his industry peers for his depth of regulation and compliance knowledge.

Some of Scott's recent representative matters and counsel have included:

· Advising domestic and offshore hedge funds, private equity funds and other pooled investment vehicles regarding structure, formation and ongoing operational issues;

· Advising fund managers and other investment advisers with respect to SEC and state regulatory issues and compliance-related matters; and

· Broker-dealer regulation and CTA/CPO compliance.

Scott is a prominent author and lecturer on corporate law, securities transactions and investment management. He has been published in The Wall Street Journal, The Compliance Reporter, Bloomberg Law Reports, The Hedge Fund Law Report and a variety of other publications. Scott is a part-time lecturer at Rutgers School of Law, Hedge Funds and Investment Adviser Seminar, and is also on the Lawyer's Advisory Committee for the Managed Funds Association and on the IA Legal & Regulatory Subcommittee of the National Society of Compliance Professionals.
