Service Provider Spotlight

Ron Geffner

Founding Partner, Sadis & Goldberg

April 2024 · 57 min

The lawyer who's seen every way a fund launch goes wrong.

Former SEC enforcement attorney Ron Geffner has guided hundreds of private funds through formation and beyond. Here he walks through the legal and business considerations that actually matter when launching and running a fund, how to choose securities counsel, the relationship mistakes that cost managers later, and how good counsel becomes a business-development asset, not just a cost center.

In this conversation

  • How to choose a securities lawyer, and what it should cost
  • The legal pitfalls that surface after launch, not before
  • Building a relationship with counsel that compounds
  • What regulators actually look at first
  • Using your service providers as a credibility network
