About

Provided by WilmerHale

WilmerHale’s Futures and Derivatives Practice advises financial market participants on all facets of US commodity futures and derivatives regulatory, transactional and enforcement issues, including the regulation of futures exchanges and clearinghouses, commodity pools and commodity trading advisors, swap dealers and futures commission merchants. A range of clients turn to us for counsel on cleared and uncleared over-the-counter derivatives, including banks and swap dealers requiring advice on regulatory margin and capital, investment funds negotiating derivatives trading agreements, and end users seeking guidance on issues they face in the markets. Our team—led by a former chief counsel of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Division of Economic Analysis (now the Division of Market Oversight)—handles complex matters involving the overlapping jurisdiction of securities and futures regulations, as well as compliance issues facing financial market participants. When investigations and enforcement actions arise, our enforcement team, recognized as one of the leading practices of its kind, is well positioned to defend clients before the regulators and self-regulatory organizations.
