Graham McCall advises alternative asset managers on the formation, operation and regulation of private funds and other investment vehicles.
With a practice fluent in asset classes ranging from public equities to traditional oil and gas, Graham helps clients launch new fundraising vehicles, allocate capital and address operational, governance and regulatory issues that arise throughout the lifecycle of a fund. He represents clients ranging from emerging managers launching new investment platforms to established institutions overseeing billions of dollars in assets.
Graham draws on experience in private practice, government and in-house roles to help clients develop practical approaches to regulatory compliance while navigating evolving legal and business challenges. Prior to entering private practice, he served at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission where he worked on Dodd-Frank rulemakings affecting derivatives markets. He later served as vice president and assistant general counsel in the asset management division of Goldman Sachs, advising trading desks and portfolio managers on regulatory and documentation matters involving derivatives.
In particular, clients turn to Graham for creative counsel in structuring bespoke investment vehicles, including separately managed accounts, funds-of-one, joint ventures, co-investment arrangements and other tailored structures designed to bring sophisticated sponsors and investors together. In addition to fund formation matters, he helps clients navigate regulatory issues arising under the Investment Advisers Act, the Investment Company Act and the Commodity Exchange Act. Graham also has experience advising family offices, pension plans, endowments and other capital allocators on private fund investments, co-investments and secondary transactions.
Outside the office, Graham enjoys tennis, skiing and exploring visual art. Much of his free time currently revolves around his family’s addition of a baby girl in early 2026.
