About

At Baker & McKenzie, our derivatives team advises a broad spectrum of market participants and users of derivatives on the regulation, documentation and compliance of futures, swaps, options, forwards and other financial products. With respect to both strategic and day-to-day issues, we counsel U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges, proprietary traders, futures commission merchants, introducing brokers, commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors, swap dealers and corporate end-users, including some of the largest companies in the world. Our keen understanding of the derivatives and physical markets makes us uniquely positioned to help clients respond to the convergence of these markets brought about by the Dodd-Frank Act. Based upon the diverse skill set of our lawyers, we are qualified to provide holistic solutions involving regulatory, transactional and enforcement matters.
