Katten

Katten‘s derivatives offering holds in-depth expertise in regulatory, investigatory and transactional derivatives matters. The team is highly proficient in matters requiring insight into CFTC and NFA regulations, and is often retained by financial institutions and investors in high-stake enforcements and contentious matters. Aditionally, the team’s transactional expertise extends to esoteric asset classes, notably digital infrastructure and cryptocurrency. Chicago-based Christian Kemnitz is sought by cleints for his experience in derivative enforcements and regulations, alongside experience in options, swaps, securities, futures and other structured products, and co-heads the team with Lance Zinman. Based in Washington DC, Daniel Davis also co-heads the team, and oversees the gamut of derivatives market regulations, fraud investigations, and other CFTC and SEC-related matters. New York-based Carl Kennedy is well-versed in Dodd-Frank and CFTC regulations, while Matthew F. Kluchenek is a key member of the team for matters involving fraud, noncompliance and trading investigations.
