ICMA GMRA Workshop

Date: May 6-7, 2010
Venue: ICMA, Talacker 29, 8001 Zurich, Switzerland 
Organiser: ICMA


The collapse of Lehman Brothers confirmed the critical importance of robust legal agreements in securing rights to collateral and in netting exposures to defaulting counterparties. The need for adequate documentation is now being reinforced by the tightening of market regulations and the structural post-crisis shift from unsecured financing into repo and other secured instruments.
 

The de facto standard for documenting international repo transactions and the basis for many standard domestic agreements is the GMRA. This timely new course, delivered by ICMA itself, reviews the general legal issues underlying repo documentation, examines the structure and operation of the GMRA, and considers the practicalities of implementing the standard agreement, having first provided a firm foundation by explaining the special operational and institutional nature of the instrument being documented, its typical usage in the market and the risks that are created.
 

This course will be delivered by a faculty including: ICMA’s associate counsel, an experienced financial markets lawyer, a practicising documentation professional and an acknowledged repo market expert from the ICMA Centre at Reading University.
