Karen L. Anderberg

Karen L. Anderberg advises European, Asian and U.S. asset managers and investment funds on all aspects of U.S. financial services regulatory issues, including Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investment adviser and investment fund registration and exemptions and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) requirements. Ms. Anderberg’s practice also consists of advising investment funds (including UCITS and AIFs) on global distribution issues, both via registration or passporting and on a private placement basis. Ms. Anderberg also counsels large financial services firms on global compliance and distribution matters.

The Legal 500 UK recommends Ms. Anderberg for financial services (non-contentious/regulatory). She has previously been described as “very responsive, with very strong knowledge of applicable law and regulation in the UK and across many other jurisdictions”. One client says “Karen Anderberg provides practical solutions that are very helpful to in-house lawyers. She is always our starting point when we encounter a novel distribution-related issue for which we do not have an answer or when we encounter a practical, legal, or regulatory impediment relating to cross-border distribution. She is also wonderfully pleasant to work with”. 

Ms. Anderberg co-edited U.S. Regulation for Asset Managers Outside the United States published by Sweet and Maxwell in 2017. She has spoken extensively on financial services regulatory matters, and has co-hosted seminars on “U.S. Regulation for UK Legal and Compliance Professionals” since 2008.

Ms. Anderberg has also been selected by Legal Business for inclusion in editions of Legal Experts in the field of Investment Funds since 2011.

Ms. Anderberg became a partner in January 2001. She joined Dechert as an associate in 1992 and practiced in Dechert’s Washington, D.C. office prior to 2003.
