Legal - Derivatives/Structured Finance

Course overview

Swaps and derivatives are becoming more and more complex every year. New products such as credit derivatives and equity derivatives are introduced, new and emerging jurisdictions are involved, and derivatives are increasingly used as part of financing structures. The advanced modules of this course focus on these issues and are specifically designed for delegates who have mastered the basic issues but are facing the challenges of these new and complicated applications. As the range of users and applications of swaps and derivatives increase, so the legal and documentation problems become more difficult and require ever-more sophisticated techniques.

The entire course will fully explain the legal aspects of swaps & derivatives and derivatives in structured financing. You will gain a complete understanding of the key legal issues in swap documentation, and in particular the important problems of default, insolvency and enforcement.
