Our capital markets service centers on enabling issuers to roll out, and derive the maximum benefits of, straight-through process automation.
Working alongside WSD, the leading provider of document and workflow automation solutions for structured products and OTC derivatives, we provide legal support for the automation of medium-term notes programs, including:
- Drafting of base prospectuses, product supplements and underlying supplements
- Drafting of templates for pricing supplements and term sheets with plain English descriptions of “ready-to-code” business logic
- Review and testing of automated documents
- Design of regression test frameworks
- Regulatory monitoring and alerts
We also draft bespoke offering documents for one-off and other non-automated securitized and non-securitized derivatives in a manner consistent with an issuer’s automated templates.
We provide automated validity and tax opinions to U.S. issuers of structured products for predefined categories of flow trades automated on the WSD platform.
We cover the full range of financial products and wrappers across asset classes, including:
- Equities
- Commodities
- FX
- Rates
- Credit
