The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and law firm Linklaters, which worked together to develop the online derivatives documentation platform ISDA Create, have announced an arrangement with S&P Global Market Intelligence that will enable users to access and amend documentation on ISDA Create via S&P鈥檚 Counterparty Manager service.
Through this arrangement, the participating companies aim to streamline client onboarding and contract lifecycle management by enabling derivatives contracts to be negotiated end-to-end via Counterparty Manager.
This will enable users to draw on ISDA Create to draft, negotiate and execute ISDA Master Agreements and other key derivatives documentation directly within Counterparty Manager, enabling users to access their contract details in digital form via a single point of access.

Commenting on the release, ISDA鈥檚 general counsel Katherine Tew Darras says: 鈥淭his integration will enable users to quickly access a digital record of their contractual and relationships data in a single place, creating significant operational efficiencies for firms, as well as reducing risk.鈥�
