Securities and corporate attorney Scott Budlong has joined Barnes & Thornburg as a partner in New York, the firm announced Wednesday.
Budlong has spent his career advising private fund managers, family offices, and other financial market participants on regulatory and transactional matters, according to the firm.
He joins Barnes & Thornburg as the firm is set to triple its Manhattan footprint next year. The Indiana-founded firm currently has more than 25 lawyers and staff in New York.
“This year has brought increased regulatory scrutiny of the securities markets, and the need to identify and surmount challenges in that space will continue in 2022,” said David Gotlieb, chair of Barnes & Thornburg’s corporate department. “Scott’s counsel will be invaluable as we help our clients successfully navigate a rapidly evolving market.”
Budlong also advises hedge funds and other institutional investors who are engaged in activism or who have representation on public company boards.
