    The 2016 IECA Master Netting Agreement (“MNA”) Enforceability Opinion is now available for purchase. This legal opinion, prepared by Reed Smith LLP, focuses on enforceability of the termination, Close-out netting and Termination Payment provisions of the MNA. When used in accordance with this legal opinion, parties to an MNA governed by the laws of the State of New York can be confident that their exposure on covered transactions can be viewed on a net, rather than a gross, basis, thereby reducing credit risk and potentially conserving working capital.

    The New York Enforceability Opinion is available to members for $500 and to non-members for $1000. A UK Enforceability Opinion will be added at a later date to which access will be provided at no additional charge to those who previously purchased the New York Enforceability Opinion.
