Legal Support for Trading and Compliance
WHY CHOOSE KOLOBARA LAW
How We Help
Kolobara Law Firm offers real-time legal and compliance support for commodities and derivatives traders, risk and credit managers, and back-office personnel. We understand the time-sensitive nature of commodities and derivatives trading, and we believe that no transaction value should be lost due to slow legal or compliance review. Our commitment to real-time support is rooted in fifteen years of in-house experience, working shoulder-to-shoulder with traders and middle- and back-office professionals.
Kolobara Law Firm provides real-time legal and compliance review of trades, trading and hedging strategies, and structured physical and financial products to ensure compliance with internal and external trading regulations. This includes anti-manipulation compliance, Dodd-Frank Act compliance, trading contracts compliance, position limits, institutional suitability, clearing and execution compliance, collateral and margin compliance, and verification of accurate termination, liquidation, or settlement of trades.
We assist market participants with the real-time review and analysis of new trading or hedging products to ensure that the legal, regulatory, and compliance exposures associated with the new products or instruments are thoroughly reviewed and understood by those trading them. We enhance our clients’ risk management analysis by providing real-time evaluations of how appropriate the new product is in relation to the client’s overall trading or hedging strategy. We collaborate with our clients’ internal departments to strengthen their in-house expertise in managing and supporting the new product, including transaction and market analysis, delivery and operational constraints and solutions, market liquidity, and credit exposure.
We draft and maintain a variety of trading, credit, and collateral documentation for every stage of the trade lifecycle—from negotiation and pre-execution to execution and post-execution. Kolobara Law Firm offers, among other documents: trade vetting forms; long- and short-form confirmation agreements; trade assumption or novation agreements; event of default notices; trade termination and settlement notices; margin or collateral demand notices; corporate guaranty notices; letter of credit demand notices; and option exercise notices.
