This program provides attorneys with a foundational understanding of derivatives and their role in modern legal and financial practice. Derivatives—including options, futures, forwards, and swaps—are widely used across commercial transactions, corporate finance, executive compensation arrangements, and risk management strategies. Because these instruments frequently arise in contracts, regulatory matters, litigation, and transactional work, attorneys must possess sufficient familiarity to identify legal risks, interpret relevant provisions, and advise clients effectively.

The course examines the core mechanics and terminology of derivatives, including how they are structured, valued, and utilized for both hedging and speculative purposes.
