INTERVIEW: Blackstone chief legal officer John Finley

Abstract

[...]while my M&A background gave me broad-based experience in a lot of areas, I did have to learn some areas such as compliance when I came to Blackstone. [...]we are looking for people who can fit into our culture and work very collegially. [...]for the distribution of private and traditional draw down funds to a broader universe of high-net worth investors, this will mean continuing the broadening of distributions through not only bank feeder funds, but independent broker-dealers and registered investment advisors.
