ISDA Master Agreement

An ISDA Master Agreement standardizes derivatives trading relationships, defining netting, collateral, and termination terms. This playbook assists counsel in managing counterparty risk and regulatory compliance under derivatives frameworks.

Representations & Warranties

Why This Matters: Accurate representations allocate risk to the party best positioned to verify information and reduce post-closing disputes or indemnity claims.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Party A:

Ensure representations are comprehensive and include all necessary disclosures. Push for detailed disclosure schedules to mitigate risk.

If you're the Party B:

Limit representations to known facts and include carve-outs for potential issues. Ensure disclosure schedules are accurate and up-to-date.

Essential elements

1

Legal Status

Entity's legal standing.
2

Authority

Power to execute agreement.
3

No Violation or Conflict

Compliance with laws and contracts.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if representations are too broad or lack necessary carve-outs.

EDIT

Reject if representations impose undue risk or are unverifiable.

ADD

Add if missing, especially for risk allocation and dispute prevention.

PRO TIP

Always verify the accuracy of representations and ensure disclosure schedules are comprehensive.

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, representations should be more detailed, with specific carve-outs for known risks.

Cross-Border Transactions

Include jurisdiction-specific representations to address legal differences and compliance requirements.

Start-Up Acquisitions

Focus on financial condition and intellectual property representations due to the nature of start-ups.
