The New York Law Journal published a featured profile of Financial Markets and Funds Partner Michael Didiuk and his arrival at Katten. His significant experience in law firms and at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) makes him a strategic hire for the firm, enhancing its ability to advise on complex regulatory matters, investment fund formation and compliance with evolving financial regulations, including cryptocurrency.
Regarding the decision to join Katten, Michael shared, "When you find individuals who have served as market regulators together in a firm that's collaborative, collegial, and offers broad and deep expertise, it creates a unique environment to help clients. The combination was hard to pass up and is what I am looking for at this point in my career."
Michael noted that he is monitoring the SEC's stance on crypto custody and digital asset rules, stating, "Based on my conversations with the SEC, they are trying to make thoughtful, careful decisions and provide useful and clear regulatory guidance. It is not short-term thinking. They are trying to be smart and strategic, and think long-term, which is a great way to approach it."
