Practice Areas

Lance Zinman, global chair of Katten's Financial Markets and Funds practice, provides comprehensive legal services to asset managers, proprietary trading firms and other participants in the financial markets in need of a single advisor to assist with all aspects of their business. His unique skill set combines a deep understanding of corporate, regulatory, intellectual property and tax law with broad knowledge of the securities and derivatives markets. Using his extensive experience with these interconnected areas, he finds creative solutions to legal challenges while also providing practical, common sense counsel.

Lance represents hedge funds and commodity pools in all asset classes, private equity funds, investment advisers, commodity trading advisors and other asset managers. He also advises a broad cross section of proprietary trading firms — large and small — including many of the major firms in the industry. Clients in this space have a deep trust for Lance, noting that "[he] is a great funds lawyer and very practical. He provides actionable advice versus some other firms that merely reiterate the law without putting the advice in factual context." (U.S. News – Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms" 2023).
