Kelley Hunt, PLLC, a leading law firm offering a full range of services to asset managers of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, interval funds and other investment funds, today announced two major updates that will drive the next stage of growth for the firm: Ryan Charles, a highly experienced ‘40 Act attorney, has joined the firm as partner and the firm is today rebranding as Kelley Hunt & Charles, LLC.

Founded in 2021 by Aisha Hunt, one of the leaders in the field of asset management law, the firm, which is majority women- and minority-owned, has quickly emerged as one of the fastest-growing law firms catering to the sophisticated needs of asset managers during a time marked both by significant product evolution and ongoing regulatory upheaval.

“The legal needs of asset managers have never been more complicated, making it essential that firms are partnering with the right counsel that has the hands-on experience to help guide them through the many facets involved not only in launching new products but in keeping their existing products up to date and in line with constantly evolving requirements,” said Ms. Hunt. “The growth in demand for our services has been nothing short of phenomenal, and when the opportunity emerged to add someone with Ryan’s knowledge, network, and extensive legal and industry experience, it was something that made perfect sense both for our business and for our clients.”

Mr. Charles brings more than 20 years of asset management legal expertise to Kelley Hunt & Charles. He was formerly a partner and General Counsel at Davis Advisors and most recently served as legal counsel at U.S. Bank.

“Ryan Charles combines legal expertise, sound judgement and unimpeachable character. For almost two decades, I relied on his counsel and was proud to call him a colleague. At a time of uncertainty and turmoil in the asset management industry, I am confident that his deep knowledge and broad perspective will prove invaluable and I wish him the very best,” added Christopher Davis, Chairman, Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. and Director, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, Graham Holdings Company, Davis Funds, Selected Funds & Clipper Funds Trust.

As part of the firm’s new name and brand, Kelley Hunt & Charles is today also unveiling its new website: www.khc.law. Updated with the firm’s new look and additional information on Ms. Hunt, Mr. Charles, and the firm’s capabilities, this new site has been designed to provide asset managers with a clear window into the many ways Kelley Hunt & Charles can help them navigate some of their most complicated challenges.

Ms. Hunt will continue to work out of Kelley Hunt & Charles’ Denver office, while Mr. Charles will be based in the firm’s new Tucson office, which now serves as the firm’s official headquarters. Both will be very active on the conference circuit in 2023, with plans to attend and/or speak at:

  • The ICI 2023 Investment Management Conference, March 19-22 in Palm Desert, CA;
  • WealthManagement EDGE and Inside ETFs, May 21-24 in Hollywood, FL; and numerous other events throughout the year.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Aisha, someone I have known for more than 20 years, and look forward to connecting with colleagues new and old in the coming months as we share our story and assist our clients during this pivotal time in their growth and in the overall evolution of the asset management industry,” added Mr. Charles.
