Seward & Kissel

Seward & Kissel was founded in 1890 and has since grown to two offices in New York and Washington DC. Though it only has a presence in the United States, it has an international presence with its alliance with Simmons & Simmons. 

Highlights

Though the firm has a wider corporate practice, it is best known for its work in investment funds. The team is active across private equity funds, hedge funds and registered funds, representing advisers, sponsors and investment managers alike.

The firm’s registered funds practice included the registration and formation of numerous ETF funds. The hedge funds practice advised on the creation of international funds with complex regulatory components, similarly to the firm’s private equity funds practice.

The firm regularly advises on confidential matters.
