Morrison Foerster Adds Partners Ryne Miller and Trevor Levine to Financial Services and Fintech Teams
"Morrison Foerster hires partners Ryne Miller and Trevor Levine into its Financial Services and Fintech groups to advise on trading and markets, digital assets, derivatives, and regulatory matters."
Ryne Miller, based in Morrison Foerster’s New York office, joins the firm as a partner. He was previously a partner at a national firm, where he served as chair of its Commodities, Futures & Derivatives Group and co-chair of its FinTech, Crypto, and Trading & Markets Groups. Miller has extensive experience advising U.S. and global financial institutions, asset managers, and financial technology companies across traditional financial markets and the digital assets industry. His background also includes service as a senior U.S. financial markets regulator, counsel to the Chairman of the CFTC during Dodd-Frank implementation, a partner and co-head of another firm’s Commodities, Futures and Derivatives practice, and general counsel for a financial services and digital assets business. He advises clients from product and business design through regulatory analysis, licensing and commercial launch, and on governmental and regulatory investigations and compliance matters for commodities, derivatives, securities, and digital asset businesses.
Trevor Levine, based in Morrison Foerster’s Washington, D.C., office, joins the firm as a partner. He joins from the same national firm as Miller, where he was a partner in the Commodities, Futures & Derivatives, Crypto, and FinTech Groups. Levine brings deep financial services regulatory experience focused on trading and markets, innovative products, digital assets, and CFTC-regulated entities and markets. His prior roles include general counsel at a digital asset investment bank and associate counsel at the same financial services and digital assets business where he worked alongside Miller; earlier in his career he was an attorney at two major global firms. Levine represents exchanges, trading firms, intermediaries, market participants, technology companies, and other financial services and digital asset clients navigating complex regulatory frameworks, rapid commercial growth, and government investigations.
