Testimonial

"I advise both buy-side and sell-side institutions, including banks, funds and alternative asset managers, on all key aspects of their derivatives activity, from structuring and negotiating transactions to detailed regulatory advice. I also have a keen interest in how financial markets continue to adapt to technological developments."

Overview

Jack is a Senior Associate in Linklaters’ Derivatives & Financial Markets practice in New York. His broad practice covers a range of transactional and regulatory matters.

He represents both buy-side and sell-side market participants on the structuring and negotiation of a wide array of derivative transactions (including under ISDA Master Agreements, GMRAs and MSFTAs) covering multiple underlying products. He has developed particular expertise in deal-contingent hedging, advising both buy-side and sell-side clients on all aspects of their “front-end” and “back-end” hedging strategies.

Jack also has extensive experience advising clients on various regulatory matters arising out of the Dodd Frank Act, including on secondment to a major international investment bank where he provided legal and regulatory coverage to its fixed income and FX trading desks. In addition, he regularly supports the firm’s global network in advising upon cross-border questions of U.S. derivatives regulation.

Additionally, Jack takes an active role in the firm’s ongoing close relationship with ISDA and was a key part of the Linklaters team advising it on the legal structuring of the Notices Hub, ISDA’s new online platform for secure and auditable notice delivery.

Beyond his transactional and regulatory practice, Jack frequently presents to industry participants on market developments and derivatives documentation.

Prior to working in New York, Jack worked for several years in Linklaters’ London office, where he worked on a number of market leading financial market infrastructure projects (both in the traditional finance space and in emerging asset classes such as cryptoassets), as well as on the establishment of commodities-linked ETFs. He also spent time on secondment to the firm’s Singapore office.
