The documentation supporting the majority of the world’s derivatives transactions has been standardized to some extent since the introduction of the first form of ISDA Master Agreement in 1987.  The ever-evolving landscape of regulations, products and market innovations, however, has required a growing yet nuanced architecture of comprehensive derivatives documentation to ensure the market can operate in the most safe and efficient manner possible.

This comprehensive two-day course will introduce you to the key uses and risks of derivatives and provide an in-depth review of the foundational documents related to derivatives transactions. You will learn to identify key elements of derivatives documents (including the ISDA Master Agreement and initial margin and variation margin credit support documentation), gain an understanding of key considerations when negotiating these documents, and learn how to use the ISDA Create platform to turn those negotiations into legal documents.  This course will also cover special document-related developments emerging in derivatives, including those related to environmental trading, securities financing transactions, and digital currencies.

Led by a team of seasoned industry practitioners, the ISDA Masterclass on Documentation will equip you with a deep practical knowledge of the key elements of ISDA’s documentation, and will increase your confidence in negotiating these documents, as well as provide insight into the latest developments in market documentation.

This course is designed to be both instructional and interactive. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions throughout and will be given the opportunity to work first hand with ISDA Create to simulate a real contract negotiation. If there is something specific you would like to learn in this course you can submit your question to the speakers ahead of the conference and we will do our best to have them answered the day of the event.
