Katherine advises on the sale and trading of commodities, derivatives, securities, and digital assets. She also represents clients in related regulatory and grand jury investigations, enforcement actions, and criminal prosecutions.

For more than 20 years, Katherine served in leadership roles at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, swap dealers, and a financial derivatives exchange. At the CFTC, she rose to senior trial attorney within the Division of Enforcement. Subsequently, she served as the Chief Regulatory Officer of NYSE Liffe US, a CFTC-registered futures exchange. Drawing on that background, she offers market participants trusted guidance in navigating the often-confusing legal and regulatory landscape for financial services. She provides clients not only knowledge about applicable law, but also an understanding of the interplay between market participants trading derivatives and financial products. She does more than advise on compliance issues; she helps clients exploit opportunities to launch new products and services created by changes in the law.
