WHY CHOOSE KOLOBARA LAW

Strengthen Your Internal Compliance Strategy

The energy trading landscape is undergoing a major redesign: enhanced authority by federal regulators; OTC derivatives reform; migration of many OTC contracts to regulated exchanges; and strong emphasis on centralized clearing. These are only some of the factors that will have a lasting effect on all market participants, no matter the size, corporate structure, or underlying business activity.

Kolobara Law Firm dedicates a large part of our practice to assisting our clients with their energy trading compliance needs. Our mission is to assist market participants with identifying and managing the evolving changes in energy markets. A comprehensive compliance program often starts with trading/risk management policies and procedures.

Kolobara Law Firm drafts trading or risk management policies and procedures with a particular emphasis on creating and maintaining a culture of compliance both internally and externally. Critical topics of the policies and procedures include: anti-manipulation rules and prohibited trading strategies, price reporting rules, generation and capacity rules, shipper-must-have rules, exchange position limit rules, large trader reporting requirements, and bona fide hedge definition. We assist our clients with the operational implementation of the policies and procedures, and we help structure management’s accountability with respect to the compliance of trading and exposure management activities in accordance with the policies and procedures.
