About Katten Muchin Rosenman
Katten's practice includes a substantial financial markets and funds offering serving investment banks, investment managers, hedge funds, private equity and other alternative funds, trading firms, exchanges, and trading platforms. Its firm materials emphasize commercially oriented advice, while the financial services practice connects transactions with ongoing regulatory and operational requirements.
The team's published experience includes securities, futures, derivatives, and alternative investment management. It draws on lawyers with prior roles at financial regulators and in-house positions at investment banks. Its services extend across corporate transactions, compliance, litigation and enforcement, tax, technology and intellectual property, and employment issues.
For students, this practice illustrates how financial market work reaches beyond deal execution. A fund or trading business can require advice about its structure, products, regulatory obligations, and disputes. Katten's materials show those needs within a connected offering, making the distinction between transactional, regulatory, and contentious work especially useful when exploring the firm.
