A boutique built by a practitioner — for clients who measure counsel by outcomes, not headcount.
Zaitzeff Law, PC was founded on a simple premise: the institutions that drive finance and banking deserve counsel that has actually sat on the other side of the table.
Bank-regulatory and derivatives experience built from the inside out.
Before founding the firm, our principal practiced inside large financial institutions and at major New York law firms — drafting the very ISDAs, swap policies and capital frameworks that now appear across client engagements.
That practitioner background means clients do not pay to teach counsel about repo, swaps, Reg W, Volcker or the supervisory examination process. The learning curve is already behind us.
From Stuyvesant Falls, NY we represent banks, broker-dealers, fund sponsors, fintechs, public companies and their boards across New York State and beyond — with the responsiveness only a boutique can deliver.
