aosphere is an online legal services provider. We provide a range of online solutions to help participants navigate legal opinions and developments in the derivatives space, ultimately saving time and minimising risk for financial institutions.

Our derivatives products cover the principal issues of netting, collateral taking, pre-trade due diligence and derivatives regulatory requirements across the spectrum of derivatives products, whether governed by ISDA documentation, the Global Master Repurchase Agreement, the EFET documents or other market standard documentation.

aosphere launched its first online risk management service (netalytics) with ISDA in 2002 to help members analyse the ISDA netting opinions. A team of highly experienced derivatives lawyers at aosphere extract key data points from ISDA opinions and present them onscreen in a colour coded report, which is updated annually for subscribers. This model has since been applied to other legal opinions; CSAnalytics analyses the ISDA collateral opinions including coverage of IM/VM collateral provider and taker insolvency analysis, netalytics has been expanded to  offer analysis of the ISDA IFI opinions, and most recently aosphere launched diligence – ISDA e-contracts to analyse the e-contract opinions.

Other aosphere services include:

• Comprehensive analysis of G20 initiated regulatory reforms with option for collateral checking app
• Analysis of certain ICMA, ISLA, EFET, and BdB legal opinions
