How it helps
Your company is entering into an SLA with a Japanese entity and you need to know if there are any changes Japanese counsel recommend or suggest you make to the SLA.
Using the SLAnalytics Compare function, you see at a glance that several amendments to the documents may be necessary. You then use the page references to go to the right place in the opinion itself to see the example wording provided by counsel.
Updated opinions
One of the trickiest things about keeping up-to-date with the ISLA securities lending opinions is they tend to be all re-published on the same day each year. Many of the aosphere team have worked in-house and we know first-hand how much pressure that can put on legal teams to prioritise which opinions to review first and then actually review them all as soon as possible.
Our dedicated senior legal team rapidly extracts the data and publishes updated reports. That means you know what’s in the opinions as soon as possible to help improve your legal risk management processes.
To make your life even easier, from the Compare page you can filter the data you see, for example, selecting which collateral fact pattern you are interested in, to filter out data you don’t need and get to the heart of your enquiry quickly.
In addition
Beyond these central issues, SLAnalytics also deals with other points crucial to effective use of the securities lending agreements, including any recommended changes to the definition of Act of Insolvency or other suggested amendments to the documents.
