Derivatives & Financial Products

Baker & McKenzie has one of the world's leading international derivatives practices, regularly representing financial institutions, multinational corporations, funds, government entities, insurance companies and investors.


Our lawyers regularly advise clients on a full range of financial products including interest rate, currency, credit, equity and commodity derivatives. We render advice on hedging transactions, derivative based structured financing arrangements, synthetic CDO transactions as well as repo and stock lending agreements.

Our practitioners provide truly global coverage, giving clients access to financial products expertise not only in the global "money centres" but also in developing markets. As such, our lawyers assist clients in cross-border transactions and advise on key issues such as close-out netting and enforceability throughout a host of jurisdictions.

In addition to client-related experience, Baker & McKenzie is an Associate Member of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA). Our practitioners are active in ISDA and other industry working groups and are frequent speakers at training courses and seminars around the world.
