Market Infrastructure
In the face of rapid technological innovation
and increased regulation of the financial markets worldwide,
today’s market infrastructure participants demand lawyers who know
all corners of their world. SNR Denton lawyers have advised some of
most prominent exchanges, clearinghouses, and other participants in
the financial, commodities and energy markets. Our lawyers have
been at the forefront of market-shaping transactions.
We regularly advise on and assist in the
development of financial and energy and other commodity markets and
their associated infrastructure. We have acted for a variety of
exchanges, clearing houses, depositories and key market
participants in the US, UK and overseas (especially in Central and
Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia). We have also advised a
number of other providers of services that are key components in
the structure of markets (as distinct from simple providers of
information technology and services to participants in the
market).
We are highly rated by UK directories of
legal services for our work in various related fields, in
particular consistently receiving a top rating for our commodity
futures and energy practices – we have the pre-eminent energy
trading legal practice in Europe.
We have also advised financial regulators in
the UK, continental Europe, Africa, the Middle East and other
countries in Asia.
