Derivatives and Risk Management Products
We advise borrowers and lenders on their entry into derivatives and structured risk management products, whether as part of a wider finance transaction or in the course of their ongoing business.

CHAMBERS UK
Transactions are usually documented under the ISDA Master Agreement and involve advice on and negotiation of the Schedule to the agreement and conclusion of a credit support annex. We also act on bespoke OTC derivatives contracts and repo agreements.
In addition, we advise borrowers and counterparties on the consequences of termination of such arrangements. See Banking & Finance Litigation for claims arising in connection with the selling of such products.
