Katten’s decision to enhance its structured products offerings comes at a time when financial institutions are navigating increasingly intricate regulatory landscapes, primarily driven by post-Brexit implications in the UK and evolving economic conditions globally. This strategic hire is expected to provide additional depth to Katten’s advisory capacities, particularly in Europe.
The focus on structured products is anticipated to grow, as financial firms continue to seek innovative solutions in an environment that necessitates better risk management and regulatory compliance. Ramage’s expertise is likely to play a critical role in advising clients on these fronts, ensuring that Katten remains competitive in the market for high-level legal services.
