Katten Muchin Rosenman UK LLP (Katten) is a law firm with a derivatives practice in the UK that rep - resents a wide range of clients (proprietary traders, brokers, investment managers, commodity trading companies, corporates, exchanges and clearing or - ganisations) on an equally wide range of commer - cial transactions encompassing many different asset classes, including crypto. This breadth of practice gives the team a valuable perspective and a basis for creative problem-solving. The practice is founded on a deep understanding of derivatives regulation,
market practices and documentation. The lawyers help clients understand and comply with the myriad of rules and regulations affecting their businesses, and negotiate agreements to assist clients in closing deals, rather than prolonging the negotiation process. The firm’s UK team is fully co-ordinated with its US practice, enabling the lawyers to efficiently and effec - tively provide cross-border advice to serve the needs of clients doing business on both sides of the Atlan - tic. Clients rely on Katten to design three-cornered analyses for their activities in the UK, EU and US.
