Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP expanded its Financial Services Group by establishing a London presence specializing in hedge fund, money manager and financial institution representation.
The new office has been launched in conjunction with Martin Cornish, former principal of M.W. Cornish Solicitors, and will be known as Katten Muchin Rosenman Cornish LLP. Cornish will head the office and will be supported by a team of London-based attorneys, including a number who are licensed to practice in both the UK and the United States. These lawyers have extensive experience in the full range of challenges presented by international financial services work. Clients that will be served by the new office affiliation include the several hundred hedge funds and financial intermediaries and exchanges already represented by M.W. Cornish in London and the New York and Chicago offices of Katten Muchin Rosenman.
“The proliferation of instant electronic trading across continents and demanding the dramatic international expansion of hedge funds and brokerage firms required our firm to establish a significant presence in the London market,” said Arthur Hahn, partner and national chair of the Katten Muchin Rosenman Financial Services Group.
