Broad Coverage

We cover the full range of OTC and exchange-traded derivative products covering all major asset classes (e.g. rates, commodity, equity, credit).

Documentation

We are well versed with (i) standard ISDA documentation (including the Protocols), (ii) GMRA/MRA/GMSLA documentation, (iii) clearing documentation (e.g. Addendum, CDEA), (iv) prime brokerage agreements and (v) futures documentation (e.g. professional client agreement, clearing module). Negotiation of the Deutscher Rahmenvertrag (DRV) would be covered by our colleagues in our German offices.

Our understanding of the internal stakeholder dynamics is reflected in the manner by which we conduct our negotiations. Our goal is to lessen the burden of in-house counsel and to be as self-directional as possible. Wherever possible, we conduct not only the external negotiations but also assist in obtaining the internal approvals.
