Our deep knowledge of insolvency issues and financial contract safe harbors, allows us to advise on novel opinion issues affecting the characterization of transactions for capital and regulatory purposes.
Drawing from our derivatives experience, we provide market participants with high-quality comparative analysis and advice on key derivatives market infrastructure. We created the first-of-its-kind FIA CCP Risk Review online tool, which allows CCP members, regulators, and CCPs themselves to quickly analyze and compare the rules of 60 services at 27 different CCPs in 15 jurisdictions globally.
