Karen A. Aspinall

Karen Aspinall brings a wide range of skills and expertise to our financial services law team. With 20 years of in-house and AmLaw experience, she is an authority on regulatory compliance matters including reviewing and implementing new regulations issued by U.S. regulators such as the SEC, DOL, CFTC and NFA. She is also well-versed in a wide array of issues ranging from SEC examinations, routine regulatory matters to internal reviews, cross trades and liquidity risk management. Karen is also a skilled contract negotiator, having negotiated hundreds of agreements, including one transaction worth over $65 billion in AUM.

Karen is a music festival enthusiast, and has two dogs that, in her words, she adores.  She recently took up Pickleball, a growing sport invented by a couple who, ironically, also adored their dog. In fact, they ended up naming their dog “Pickles” after the game they helped invent. (A true story! Read more about it here).
