I have been involved with OTC derivatives since 1990 but it was only in 2000 that I felt I had gained the experience to write my first business book -Mastering the ISDA Master Agreement (now in its third edition). In that book I write about the range of OTC derivatives products, their legal nature, their credit and other risks but most of all I provide a clause by clause analysis in clear English of the provisions of the complex 1992 and 2002 ISDA Master Agreements both still used in the markets.

I use the same format in other books for the various ISDA collateral documents, the SIFMA/ICMA repo agreements and the ISLA securities lending agreements.

My company, Derivatives Documentation Limited, also provides public, in-house and online courses on these subjects.

I retired in April 2018 and while I keep abreast of developments in the above financial markets, I mostly spend my time in painting and writing comic plays and poems (the latter in English and French).
