Derivatives

Orrick assists financial institutions, corporations, municipalities and other market participants in structuring and negotiating complex credit, fixed income, foreign exchange, total return and commodity derivative transactions, as well as in drafting and negotiating related master agreement, credit support and ancillary documentation. We also advise on the restructuring of derivatives portfolios and the early termination, re-hedging and reallocation of transactions entered into with distressed or defaulted counterparties.

Orrick has extensive experience in:

• interest rate swap, caps, floors and swaptions
• foreign exchange transactions
• credit derivative transactions
• embedded put and call options
• commodity and electricity hedging transactions
• synthetic securities and investment agreements
• municipal bond repackagings

Orrick regularly publishes alerts on derivatives-related matters, including regarding the implementation and impact of proposed measures to regulate over-the-counter derivatives, such as the Dodd-Frank legislation. We also publish a periodic newsletter, Derivatives Month in Review, which highlights important developments in the area of derivatives and provides key insights on their implications.
