Successfully Manage the Major Legal Issues Surrounding Derivatives Today!

Derivatives have evolved into a day-to-day financing tool and have become a huge segment of available financial products. Currently, the derivatives market totals $531 trillion, well above its $106 trillion level of 2002.

For anyone providing legal advice on derivatives, there is the need to understand a bewildering number of complicated financial products, a patchwork of regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and contractual standards established by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.

Recent market events have heightened the need for a greater understanding of the legal aspects of these exotic, and, as we have recently learned, often toxic financial instruments. The brand-new Derivatives: Legal Practice and Strategies brings you up-to-date with current regulations and helps you stay in compliance with all the legal requirements related to derivatives.
