The arrival of railroads and the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade during the mid-19th century positioned Chicago as the hub of the nation’s commodities and futures trading. Lawrence Kamin has been a part of this rich history for more than four decades, having established one of the best-regarded futures and derivatives practices in Chicago. And as the futures and derivatives markets have diversified and shifted to international exchanges and virtual markets, our practice has evolved to address new investment contracts in expanded markets.
From the organization and registration of new FCMs, introducing brokers, proprietary trading firms and money managers such as CTAs and CPOs, through the design and implementation of financial controls and compliance systems, to the sale or liquidation of brokerage firms, Lawrence Kamin attorneys assist clients in identifying their objectives and implementing strategies to accomplish them. Clients benefit from our attorneys’ broad experience practicing in this area. Prior employment with industry participants and regulators helps our attorneys provide practical, real-world advice. Our established relationships with regulators help us anticipate the focus of regulatory inquiries and provide credibility in negotiations and discussions.
Our diverse roster of practice areas complements our Futures & Derivatives work. Our Business & Corporations group counsels and represents clients in connection with the mergers and acquisitions of various firms, while our Litigation department has represented our Futures & Derivatives clients in conflicts ranging from customer litigation to employment disputes.
