Greenberg Traurig Adds Ryan Hayden to Financial Regulatory and Compliance Practice in Washington, D.C.

7/6/2026

Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has expanded its Financial Regulatory & Compliance Practice by naming Ryan Hayden a shareholder in Washington, D.C.

Hayden arrives from Steptoe LLP and focuses his practice on derivatives — the contracts that allow companies and investors to transfer financial risk without necessarily exchanging the underlying assets.

What a Derivatives Practice Does Derivatives are agreements — futures, swaps, options, and their structured relatives — whose value is tied to something else: an interest rate, a currency, a commodity price, a credit event.

The contract is not the asset; it is the risk-management layer on top of it.
