Laven Partners, a global consulting firm focused on the alternative investment industry, has appointed Tom Morgan as managing director of the firm’s New York office, charged with expanding the firm’s presence in the US.  

Laven Partners launched its New York office in October 2011 following increased interest from US-based managers expanding their operations to Europe, and European clients concerned with US regulations.

Morgan is a financial services, compliance and operations consultant with over 28 years of experience in the legal, business and financial services sectors. He started his career as a lawyer representing public and private institutions, focused on corporate finance, regulatory, banking and real estate matters.

Besides operational and set-up consulting services in the alternative and traditional investments industry, Laven Partners also provides operational due diligence assessments of funds for institutional and family office investors.

Additionally, it offers registration and ongoing compliance services for US and non-US regulated fund businesses.

The firm has offices in London, Luxembourg, Geneva, New York, Singapore and Barbados.
