SOLUTIONS  /  Repapering & Regulatory Response

Meeting the challenge.

Tick Tock! The regulatory deadlines are looming, and the number of contracts requiring remediation or repapering is huge. The task demands not only more legal expertise and market know-how but also extensive collaboration with outside counsel, legal project management, and stakeholder reporting—more than you could ever manage in-house. This is where the power of Integrated Law™ comes into play. Enter Factor, streamlining these complex processes with innovative solutions that free your team to focus on strategic priorities.
“From LIBOR to Schrems II to Brexit and Initial Margin, we have helped clients facing massive and complex regulatory requirements repaper their contracts in a timely fashion and under budget.”
