On November 8, 2012, international law firm Walkers Global hosted its annual Walkers Fundamentals Hedge Fund Seminar in New York City.  Speakers at this event addressed various issues of current relevance to hedge fund managers, including: recent developments in fund structuring and terms; fund governance; recent Cayman legal developments (including those relating to side letter disputes); implications of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act for hedge fund managers; and regulatory developments, including proposed amendments to the Cayman Islands Exempted Limited Partnership Law and the impact of the EU’s Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.  This article summarizes noteworthy points discussed during the seminar on each of the foregoing topics.  For our coverage of last year’s Walkers Fundamental Hedge Fund Seminar, see “Speakers at Walkers Fundamentals Hedge Fund Seminar Provide Update on Hedge Fund Terms, Governance Issues and Regulatory Developments Impacting Offshore Hedge Funds,” Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 4, No. 42 (Nov. 23, 2011).
