Alston & Bird said today it bolstered its investment funds group by adding partner Heather Wyckoff in the firm’s Manhattan office from Schulte, Roth & Zabel. 

Wyckoff joined Atlanta-founded Alston & Bird early this month. She specializes in advising asset managers and is “adept at forming funds” with investor-tailored, complex structures “for marketing globally and investing in any manner of asset classes,” according to the firm.
