Our business is tailored to be an integral part of our clients’ legal and risk management processes. We provide dynamic and proactive advice in relation to the negotiation of all the trading and counterparty documentation required to establish prime brokerage, OTC & ETD derivatives, clearing, brokerage and cash book relationships. We also advise on the associated legal regulatory issues that arise. We are cost-effective and pioneered the use of fixed fees.
We undertake documentation audits for investment managers and fund boards to ensure the agreements are current and compliant with the ever-changing regulatory environment and DDQ disclosures.
We offer time sensitive advice covering general issues that arise, from day to day queries through to assistance with complex trade disputes.
The negotiation of all counterparty documentation forms a significant part of Oesa’s offering across all buy side strategies regardless of the size of the fund, platform or managed account.
Managed account and umbrella fund platforms can be a cost-effective way to launch new Funds. We provide a vital comprehensive and legally sound document review to assist with the onboarding process.Â

Time is money and so we conduct ourselves to ensure we get the results the client needs in the most efficient and practical manner, to make the most productive use of our client’s time and resources.
We were the first firm to introduce fixed fees. These have proved popular as they enable our clients to budget accurately for their legal costs without worrying about a clock ticking in the background.
