Who it's for
Our subscribers include leading investment and corporate banks who need practical guidance on distributing a range of products and services, from equity services to derivatives and loans.
How it helps
We work with leading counsel across the global to negotiate a detailed memoranda of law which is published in its entirety as well as an "Activity Matrix" and colour-coded report.
The detail is there for those who need it, and is made available in summary format for those who don't.
It paid for itself the first time I used it.
