Ogier is counsel to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) in Guernsey and Jersey and provides netting and collateral opinions which are available to members from ISDA’s website and updated on an annual basis. We are often asked by banks, prime brokers and other clients to advise on local law issues in connection with their entry into derivatives transactions (or other transactions involving netting provisions) with offshore counterparties.
The transaction documents (eg ISDA, GMRA or prime brokerage agreements) for derivatives transactions (or other transactions involving netting provisions) are usually governed by English law or New York law. However, there are a number of local law issues which our clients should consider when proposing to enter into such transactions with offshore counterparties, including the following key issues:
Upon request, we are able to provide legal opinions or memoranda of advice covering the above issues in respect of specific transaction documents and counterparties/types of counterparties incorporated or registered in Jersey, Guernsey, BVI or the Cayman Islands.
