Formation and Registration
Our attorneys and staff provide assistance in domestic and off-shore registration counseling for firms engaged in the futures, commodities, derivatives and FX industries, including Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs), Introducing Brokers (IBs), Commodity Pool Operators (CPOs), and Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs). We guide our clients on best practices for efficient registration with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and becoming a member of the National Futures Association (NFA).
Our attorneys also have ample experience registering individuals and corporate entities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, and blue sky regulators. We pride ourselves on having the unique expertise to guide our clients on off-shore registration with foreign governments and regulators in Canada, UK and other EU jurisdictions, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, British Virgin Islands, and Cayman Islands, and to connect them with local counsel that meets their needs.
