Ep 49 - Financial Contract Design (ft. Lachlan Burn & Jeffrey Golden)

Financial Contract Design Lachlan Burn and Jeff Golden, formerly of Linklaters and Allen & Overy, are two of the most respected lawyers in the capital markets world. Together and separately, they have been at the forefront of almost every effort over the past forty years to improve contract documentation and increase certainty in legal determination in financial transactions. In this episode, they talk with Mitu--Mark is away this week--about how contract production methods vary across jurisdictions (NY v. London, Common v. Civil Law, etc.) and the importance of institutional culture in organizations (e.g., ISDA, the FMLC) in which they have played key roles. Producer: Leanna Doty
