Welcome to PL International

We provide legal and regulatory assistance on matters relating to exchange traded and OTC derivatives, market making, cash trading and prime brokerage services.

In the wake of the recent MF Global bankruptcy filing, increasingly our clients instruct us on protection of their money and assets held at large brokers and investment banks.

PL International is also in the forefront of the recent developments in OTC Derivatives Clearing on which we have done an extensive legal analysis for a bulge bracket investment bank. The five month assignment also included a detailed legal analysis of the LCH's SwapClear client documentation which is based on the ISDA Master Agreement.
