Abstract

Many attorneys practicing in the areas of securities, banking, and financial services encounter from time to time an issue that invokes federal derivatives laws and their principal administrator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Other attorneys work for or with companies that use the derivatives markets to manage their price risks. For these attorneys, a handbook of basic information is useful. This chapter has been prepared to meet that need.
