For more than twenty years a dedicated team of lawyers of Cappelli RCCD has been, and firmly remains, the point of reference for the Italian market when it comes to derivatives transactions. What sets our team apart? The answer is simple – our derivatives team is able to structure any type of transaction – from equity and credit derivatives, interest rate derivatives to energy derivatives and other commodity derivatives, masterfully combining an almost intimate understanding of the structure of a transaction with an uncommon command of the highly complex regulatory landscape of any given type of financial instrument (including matters of margins and clearing under the framework of EMIR, market abuse, and MiFID / MIFIR transparency requirements).

In addition, placing our team in a league of its own, we have gained a unique expertise not only in structuring but also in deconstructing derivatives transactions by advising major financial institutions in some of the most sensitive and landmark derivatives disputes in Italy; disputes which, in most cases, were resolved with the parties entering into comprehensive settlement agreements where our in-depth knowledge of the structural elements and contractual specificities of each transaction have been a value addition to our clients.
