Owen’s arrival enables us to build out further and bring even better service to our existing BDC clients.” “Owen has already left his mark on the capital markets industry, and his extensive experience with BDCs is an excellent fit for our clients and the firm,” said Steven B. Boehm, Head of Capital Markets & Investments at Eversheds Sutherland. “Owen has deep regulatory and transactional experience that will greatly benefit our clients as they navigate these environments.” In addition to BDCs, Mr. Pinkerton advises registered closed-end funds and interval funds on regulatory and transactional matters, including public and private offerings and ongoing regulatory compliance with the federal securities laws.
