Our business is tailored to be an integral part of our clients’ legal, operational and risk management processes. We provide dynamic and proactive advice in relation to the negotiation of all the trading and counterparty documentation, and any associated regulatory issues that arise, to new and established hedge funds, funds of funds, UCITS, QIFs and other professional funds and platforms, private investment vehicles, out-sourced trading entities, specialist investment banks and asset managers.
We can undertake documentation audits to ensure the agreements are current and compliant with the ever-changing regulatory environment and DDQ disclosures required by investors.
We provide tailored advice and assistance on legal, operational and regulatory issues that arise in the secondary trading markets, from day to day matters through to complex trade disputes, events of default, and issues arising out of financial crisis and volatility.
We review, redraft and negotiate all counterparty documentation. This forms a significant part of Oesa’s offering across all buy side strategies. We can also offer this service to specialist sell side businesses and outsourced trading entities. We are known for our no nonsense but fair approach and are widely respected amongst the sell side firms we face.
The use of a fund platform can be a cost-effective way to launch new funds or managed accounts. We provide a comprehensive and legally sound document review to assist with the onboarding process. Oesa can negotiate the trading documents on the fund’s behalf and set up templates in doing so for the platform providers to use for future funds.

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 clients’ time and resources.
We were the first legal experts in this space to offer 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, extra time paying for more senior lawyers to opine, or time spent supervising junior or trainee lawyers.
