This handbook has been authored by Andrea Geat, dually qualified as Attorney and Counsellor at Law (New York) and Solicitor (England & Wales), with extensive work experience in the areas of finance, transactional documentation  compliance and client onboarding, gained in Europe and in Asia whilst working in-house for blue chip investment banking firms and corporates. In his words, “….This book takes the ISDA Master Agreement as the benchmark for any OTC Derivatives documentation negotiation and explains the relevant “DOs and DON’Ts” when it comes to the most commonly negotiated terms, providing sufficient background to help the reader make an informed decision in relation to important elections…. ….there is no pretention to provide the basis for the perfect negotiation strategy or approach, but there are enough negotiation tips, sample provisions and up-to-date case law references to help the reader understand what is important, permissible and sensible when it comes to driving the negotiation effectively, also with special focus on requirements applicable in Asia-Pacific jurisdictions…. ….yet, the sample provisions and documentation presented in this book are for reference only and serve the sole purpose of explaining the inherent impact and significance of the underlying topics, risks and issues that call for the inclusion of certain terms. By no means this book is or should be read as a collection of sample standard terms or templates….”
