Finance & Financial Markets
Stone Hilton advises lenders, borrowers, sponsors, investment funds, financial institutions and emerging companies throughout the full life cycle of a financing. We structure and execute complex credit transactions, develop innovative capital solutions and help clients manage the legal, commercial and regulatory risks associated with deploying capital.
High finance, high stakes, high performance.
Our lawyers combine experience in derivatives, structured products, digital assets and financial regulation with an understanding of how financial businesses, markets and technologies operate in practice.
We structure and negotiate interest-rate, credit, currency, commodity and equity derivatives, as well as related trading, hedging, collateral and risk-management arrangements. We also advise clients developing and investing in digital assets, stablecoins, tokenized products and other technology-enabled financial products.
Stone Hilton has particular experience advising prediction markets, exchanges, intermediaries, investors and technology providers on the evolving legal framework governing event contracts. We counsel clients on product design, market structure, CFTC regulation, exchange and intermediary registration, compliance, investigations and enforcement, and the intersection of federal commodities law with state gaming regulation. Where legal and regulatory frameworks are still developing, we help clients evaluate risk, engage with policymakers and regulators, and build strategies designed for both present requirements and future change.
