Kevin F. Cahill has 20 years of experience representing investment advisers and investment companies in all aspects of their organization, registration, operation, acquisition and liquidation. A member of Dechert’s global privacy & cybersecurity practice, Mr. Cahill provides sophisticated, solution-oriented advice to financial services firms on all aspects of data privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. He also represents clients in a wide range of regulatory, compliance and business matters.

Mr. Cahill’s practice includes routinely providing strategic advice to clients on a variety of novel regulatory and transactional matters at the intersection of financial services and privacy and cybersecurity. He has significant experience delivering time-sensitive advice to clients regarding compliance with breach notification laws in the wake of data breaches, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Regulation S-P, and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Mr. Cahill has assisted clients in navigating gray areas in the CCPA and has leveraged extensive knowledge of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Regulation S-P to provide advice on complex and nuanced issues related to the scope of the CCPA’s GLBA carve-out and its impact on personal information collected from investors across various channels.

In addition to his privacy and cybersecurity practice, Mr. Cahill’s experience includes counseling banks, trust companies, investment managers, and other service providers in structuring, distributing and operating collective investment trusts (CITs). He has also advised on forming and reorganizing mutual funds and hedge funds, including negotiating fund documents and agreements; assisting clients on adviser and fund mergers, acquisitions, and adoptions; and serving as counsel to independent directors of investment companies.
