Free Webinar – Trade Risk Participation Legal Opinion For New Regulatory Requirements Under English Law

With reference to our previous communication dated 05 May 2015, ITFA and BAFT recently announced a joint industry standard legal opinion for banks to use in satisfying new regulatory requirements in the European Union.

ITFA and BAFT, together with the law firm Sullivan & Worcester, jointly produced this legal opinion as a benefit for our member institutions to reduce the cost and complexity for banks subject to the rules and to increase the ease of doing business under the English law version of the BAFT Master Participation Agreement (MPA). Input to the opinion came from working groups of both associations.

Join us to hear from Sullivan & Worcester on their legal opinion of the MPA’s effectiveness as a legally enforceable document for credit risk protection in all relevant jurisdictions.

Presenters:

• Geoffrey Wynne, Sullivan & Worcester;
• Hannah Fearn, Sullivan & Worcester;
• Sean Edwards, ITFA
• Matthew Ekberg, BAFT
