霍金路伟国际律师事务所：内部和外部律师之间的成功合作（英文版）（2页）.pdf

Evan Koster, partner at Hogan Lovells and global coordinator for derivatives and commodities, along with Janet M. Bawcom, senior vice president, general counsel, corporate secretary, and chief compliance officer of Ingredion Incorporated, co-authored a chapter in the legal treatise "Successful Partnering Between Inside and Outside Counsel." This project is a joint effort by Thomson Reuters Westlaw™ and the Association of Corporate Counsel. The chapter, "Derivatives," focuses on how the regulatory scheme for derivatives affects non-financial companies. It addresses misconceptions about derivatives and derivatives trading, the key elements of derivatives, and their impact on non-financial companies. The chapter also outlines strategies and tools for fostering a productive relationship between inside and outside counsel in addressing derivatives matters. It discusses the major features of derivatives regulation relevant to non-financial companies, with a focus on documentation and negotiation. The chapter provides an in-depth look at the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement and other parts of the ISDA documentation architecture, as well as practice tips for managing regulatory, transaction, and documentation issues.
