Davis Polk today announced that registered funds practitioner
Christopher P. Healey has joined the firm as a partner in the
Investment Management practice in Washington DC.
“I am pleased to welcome Chris to the firm,” said Neil Barr,
Davis Polk’s Managing Partner. “We are planning a material growth
initiative in our asset management platform. Chris is a rising star
in the registered funds space who brings deep market knowledge and
significant experience in both transactional and regulatory work.
In addition to addressing a strategic objective for our Investment
Management practice, Chris is key to the buildout of our corporate
presence in Washington.”
Mr. Healey advises clients on a wide array of registered fund
products, including BDCs, closed-end funds and interval funds, as
well as on complex asset management M&A transactions and
innovative Investment Company Act regulatory matters. He has
represented many of the leading sponsors and investment managers.
Prior to joining Davis Polk, Mr. Healey was a partner in the
Registered Funds practice at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett
LLP.
“Chris has extensive experience advising a wide range of clients
on registered fund and ‘40 Act matters. The diversity of his
practice – from asset management M&A transactions for major
investment firms, to representing clients with respect to various
‘40 Act products, to sophisticated regulatory work – aligns very
well with what we do at Davis Polk,” said Leor Landa, head of Davis
Polk’s Investment Management practice. “He is a fantastic addition
to our team, and we are excited to welcome him.”
Mr. Healey said, “Davis Polk is an exceptional firm. The
opportunity to join such a talented and collaborative group and
help grow the firm’s asset management practice and Washington DC
office is very exciting.”
Fund Intelligence named Mr. Healey a “Rising Star” at the 2020
Mutual Fund Industry and ETF Awards, and the Legal 500 US quotes a
registered funds client describing Mr. Healey as a “key asset” with
“tremendous ‘40 Act knowledge.”
Mr. Healey received his B.A. from Tufts University in 2006 and
his J.D. from George Washington University Law School in 2011.
