Financial Institution Risk Management
Overview
Seward & Kissel’s Financial Institution Risk Management practice helps clients anticipate, manage and respond to risk across the full lifecycle of their business.
The practice brings together a cross-disciplinary team that draws on the firm’s core strengths in Investment Management, Corporate, Tax and Litigation & Investigations. The team includes attorneys with prior experience as prosecutors, regulators and in-house counsel, enabling practical, informed judgment in high-stakes situations.
Clients receive a tailored, multidimensional approach to each risk scenario. We advise on preemptive risk mapping and planning, readiness and response when issues arise, and comprehensive strategies to address complex and existential threats. Our focus is on helping clients make sound decisions under pressure and position their organizations for long-term resilience.
We advise a broad range of clients facing risk-related challenges, including asset managers, advisers, banks, broker-dealers, private equity and venture capital firms, family offices and senior executives. Our objective is to mitigate, contain or prevent events before they escalate, protecting against regulatory, reputational and litigation exposure.
Our cross-disciplinary team brings experience across a wide range of industries and practice areas, including asset and wealth management, investment management, real estate, blockchain and cryptocurrency, intellectual property, registered funds, broker-dealers, litigation and investigations, restructuring and bankruptcy, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, structured finance, derivatives, maritime and transportation, taxation and tax controversy, employment, private credit, trust and estates, global banking and corporate trust, private funds and venture capital.
