MJ Hudson

MJ Hudson was a comprehensive asset management consultancy that provided an array of services to the global investment industry. The firm offered specialized legal advice, fund management solutions, international administration, and advanced data and analytics platforms. Its integrated approach aimed to support private funds and other asset managers across their operational and regulatory needs, leveraging technology to streamline complex processes.

The company was founded in 2010 by Matthew Hudson, Eamon Devlin, and Anthony Yadgaroff. Matthew Hudson, with a background in law, initially established MJ Hudson as a legal practice, expanding it into a multi-disciplinary advisory firm. The founding insight was to create a unified service provider that could address the diverse and evolving requirements of private markets participants, moving beyond traditional siloed offerings.

MJ Hudson served a broad client base, including private equity firms, hedge funds, and alternative asset managers, assisting them with regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and investment intelligence. Following a period of operational challenges and leadership changes, the company's core business outsourcing and data and analytics divisions were acquired by Apex Group in 2023. This transaction marked the end of MJ Hudson’s independent operations as a holistic service provider.
