About Nicholas Gervasi

Nicholas Gervasi supports financial services clients, such as investment advisors, broker-dealers and hedge funds, in their regulatory and transactional matters. He provides a business-oriented approach to complex regulatory challenges.

Designing client-specific solutions centered on efficiency and resiliency

From his training as an architect and designing buildings against many zoning constraints, Nick understands how to balance competing interests between the law and client goals. Before joining Katten, he worked at a nonprofit where he experienced firsthand the importance of creative problem-solving within a tight budget. During law school, he learned about the dynamic between regulators and registrants by interning for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and the quantitative investment management arm of a global asset manager.
