Fund Services
Navigating the complex regulatory landscape of securities and fund management, whether for Reg A, Tier 2 offerings, private funds under Regulation D, or employee benefit offerings, can be overwhelming. Our fund services help you mitigate the risk your funds are exposed to by achieving compliance and sound management – giving you peace of mind.
Understanding the
Corporate Transparency Act
As someone with decision-making and legal responsibilities in your company you may well feel at a loss as to where to start when it comes to complying with these new regulations. Agile Legal is here to simplify the compliance process and keep you compliant by managing the whole process of meeting the CTA’s requirements.
In order to be compliant with the CTA’s regulations, you must first determine if any of your entities fall under one of the 23 exemptions. For any non-exempt companies, you then need to report your beneficial owners or employees with substantial control over the business. While you may be hesitant to release your personal identifying information, compliance with these requirements will protect your business from harsh fine and penalties.
Agile Legal’s team of attorneys, certified AML professionals, and senior paralegals have studied the new law extensively. We’ve designed a system so we can keep our clients compliant with the CTA’s regulations.

Common Problems When Managing Global Subsidiaries
DELAYS

BARRIERS
Language, informational, and political barriers make the process of expansion frustrating.
CAPACITY
Lack of local expertise shouldn't hold you back from managing global subsidiaries.
Lax Compliance Practices Put Funds At Risk
The cost of over-compliance, non-compliance or falling out of good standing can seem insignificant in comparison to the sums of money involved in private investment funds and other investment vehicles but they expose funds to unnecessary risk and scrutiny that can have consequences far beyond a single fund in your portfolio. Most providers of securities compliance services are not delivering high quality service to their customers.

This map shows the countries where Agile Legal currently manages entities. These countries are categorized either as Band A or Band B. These bands are based upon the differing levels of complexity of corporate compliance for entities in those countries.
Band A countries have fewer and less complicated regulations for entities than countries in band B. This often correlates with whether a country has a civil law or a common law legal system. Countries with civil law systems tend to be more bureaucratic and stringent with compliance, requiring more work and expertise.
Learn more about the impact of common law and civil law legal systems on global subsidiary management in our blog article.
