Firm Also Elevates Two to Counsel

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seward & Kissel LLP is pleased to announce the promotion of Theodore Kaminski to partner in the Firm’s Investment Management Group, effective January 1, 2026.

“I am very excited to celebrate this milestone and recognize the contributions Theo has made to the Firm,” said Managing Partner James Cofer. “He truly embodies the qualities that have defined Seward & Kissel for the last 135 years. His steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional client service and maintaining the highest standards of excellence in the practice of law will ensure the Firm’s continued success well into the future.”

With Kaminski’s promotion, Seward & Kissel will have 61 partners between its New York and Washington, D.C. offices.

The Firm has also promoted two attorneys to counsel, Catherine LoTempio in the Corporate Restructuring & Bankruptcy Group and Anna Weigand in the Investment Management Group.

2025 has been a transformative year for Seward & Kissel, marked by the election of Daniel Bresler to Management Committee Chair and the arrival of eight lateral partners across key practice areas.
