“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.”

Kaminski advises investment managers of hedge funds, private equity funds, and commodity pools on private fund formation, structuring, and regulatory and compliance matters. He joined Seward & Kissel’s New York office in 2018 after receiving his J.D., cum laude, from the Boston College Law School.

“Theo has continually impressed us with not only his legal acumen but also his devotion to fostering a culture of excellence and client service,” said Seward & Kissel’s Management Committee Chair-Elect Daniel Bresler. “We are excited to see him continue to grow with the Firm and drive innovation and collaboration.”

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.
