Katten

Katten’s alternative funds practice marks it as a key contender for investor-side work, where it represents hedge funds, venture capital funds, and family offices on funding rounds and investment transactions. The group also counts a mix of entrepreneurs and early-stage companies among its clients, with a focus on entities operating in the life sciences, technology, and energy fields. Chicago-based duo Matthew Brown and Jeffrey Patt co-head the practice, both specializing in advising owners and investors on raising capital, M&A, and general corporate matters. In New York, Roger Griesmeyer is noted for his focus on representing private equity and venture capital funds.
