Hank Massey, Greg Kahn and Sam Jennings authored a May 12 article, "SEC focusing on B-D registration issues for private-fund managers," for Investment News, addressing concerns arising from the Securities and Exchange Commission's recent focus on broker-dealer registration for private fund managers. The article notes that in determining whether a private fund manager should register as a broker dealer, the main issues to focus on are: how investors are solicited and retained and by whom; and how employees are compensated for that work.

Jeffrey A. Clopeck, Henry Nelson Massey and Eliza Sporn Fromberg wrote the article, "SEC's Dating Advice For Internet Platforms And Its Impact," for Law360. The article analyzes how some internet platforms are offering private placements in reliance on Rule 506(b) of Regulation D with approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission. This form of "speed dating" with prospective investors by Internet platforms offering private placements is allowed so long as the platform asks probing questions.
