Clutch Group Launches LAECS 2.0, Enhancing its Compliance and Risk Services for the Financial Services Industry
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) November 13, 2013 -- Clutch Group, the leading legal, technology and process firm helping General Counsels more effectively manage problems within Fortune 500 companies, announced today an updated version of its Legal Agreement Extraction and Codification System (LAECS), a revolutionary documentation platform designed for financial services firms to manage risk across their business functions. A fully-managed service, LAECS extracts and codifies key reference data within all forms of legal and financial agreements, allowing financial services firms to easily access and make sense of their internal data and manage their risk across all business functions.
“Regulatory enforcement is more aggressive today than ever before and government investigations can be serious, disruptive, and alarming,” says JB Costilow, VP of Process Engineering & Product Development at Clutch Group. “LAECS gives firms the ability to analyze, abstract and categorize all forms of complex financial instruments and legal documentation affording our legal, compliance and business clientele with an opportunity to fully evaluate and measure risk exposure ahead of critical regulatory demands.”
While most firms have documentation systems in place, most lack the ability to capture agreements and other documents in sufficient detail and to easily categorize them for future recall and analysis. LAECS is being used by a number of global financial firms to facilitate remediation efforts around existing http://www..isda.org/ [ISDA __title__ ]-related derivatives agreements and to fully understand their exposure across over-the-counter derivatives environments. It has also been used to analyze trades for collateral optimization, to more effectively manage pre-trade negotiations, and to improve overall productivity in legal and operations teams in increasingly complex regulatory environments.
“Technology alone is not the solution,” said Chris Cahn, Associate Director of Compliance at Clutch Group. “Companies need an integrated approach to successfully manage risk and data. To meet this need, Clutch offers LAECS as a fully-managed service, with a dedicated team of documentation experts leveraging the best data extraction and analytics technology available.”
