Fast Track Re-Papering

Stretch Your Legal Budget to The Max

15:00 UK Time. Tuesday 6th December 2016. A free one hour webinar & whitepaper

With the March compliance date for the margining of uncleared OTC portfolios, firms are focussed on the legal, operational and technical challenges.  One area fertile for improvements is the drafting and execution of margin agreements. Technology has moved on and gives firms a new choice on how a legal team gets from template to execution far more quickly. Imagine creating template agreements and having them deployed and used with full electronic support to guide staff in their use. Imagine being able to track progress on agreements across a team no matter the location, with a few clicks. Imagine being able to execute an agreement without walking paper around an office (or emailing PDFs) – with full support for authorised signatories.

Join us and learn how the twenty first century approach to the law can bring a transformation of the efficiency of your teams, and hear from practitioners and their real world experiences of this technology.

Agenda

Our agenda includes:

• Creating, implementing and complying with template agreements and policies – automated compliance for staff
• Communicating between parties – avoid the dangers of email and ensure the right person is on the receiving end
• Team work taken to another level – keep track of drafting and balance workloads
• The reassurance of built-in safety and security for the storage of agreements and control of execution
• Find out the reality of rolling out this transformative platform (SmartDX)
