Our Commodities, Futures & Derivatives Team possesses strong industry knowledge and extensive experience, we offer strategic advice and innovative solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients, and encompasses a broad range of services, including regulatory compliance, transactional support, dispute resolution, and risk management working closely with financial institutions, corporations, hedge funds, and other market participants to ensure they are well-equipped to handle the challenges and opportunities presented by these sophisticated financial instruments.

  • Full Spectrum of Business Transactions

    Like traditional large law firms, we regularly assist clients in the full spectrum of business transactions and related company matters, a large portion of which involves mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, banking and credit, employment, regulatory, corporate governance and board advisory, intellectual property, and financial restructuring and reorganization, among others.  

  • Leveraging Technology

    Our Corporate team leverages cutting edge technology in all aspects of practice and our diverse all-partner teams focus on what matters most to our clients and stakeholders, delivering outcomes through shared values of strength, diversity, and collaboration.  

  • Forging Close Partnerships

    We believe in forging close partnerships with our clients to better understand their business operations, enabling us to provide more effective counsel and to deliver exceptional value during pivotal moments that often shape profoundly the trajectory and success of our clients’ businesses.

  • Effective Low-Leverage Platform

    Our unique low-leverage platform is not only more cost-effective, it allows us to focus on fewer, targeted engagements than our peers at traditional, elite law firms. This model allows us to get closer to our clients and to know their  businesses, preferences, and cadence, and to ultimately meet our clients where they are.

Capabilities

Our core experience extends to advising on the structuring and documentation of derivative products, negotiating and drafting ISDA agreements, and providing counsel on commodity trading and hedging strategies.

Whether you are dealing with complex cross-border transactions, navigating the intricacies of Dodd-Frank compliance, or seeking to mitigate risks associated with market volatility, our team is committed to delivering exceptional service and achieving optimal outcomes for our clients.
