Regulatory & Compliance
EMIR
We provide both legal and operational support to fund managers in meeting the ongoing obligations of EMIR, including reporting and clearing of OTC derivatives and risk reduction obligations.
The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is designed to improve transparency, mitigate counterparty credit risk and increase the stability of the over-the-counter (OTC) derivative markets throughout the EU. EMIR applies to financial and non-financial counterparties to derivatives contracts in the EU, as well as to those trading outside the EU under certain circumstances.
