As true "experts" whose practice is balanced between clients who are trying to avoid/solve problems and those who are litigating/investigating problems, CMRA is uniquely positioned to provide both pro-active and re-active services.
With support from a network of quants and market practitioners, we are well-equipped to handle large and complex engagements. Our extensive hands-on market experience and knowledge of industry best practices coupled with our expert work in prior meltdowns make us uniquely qualified to advise managements and boards of directors on effective risk management before problems occur, as well as to help them evaluate, investigate, litigate and resolve problems after the fact.
Clients include institutional investors, funds, law firms and law departments, insurance companies, and other financial market participants.
We offer practical solutions honed by the experience of servicing hundreds of clients on six continents over two decades coupled with our line management experience. We advise on all asset classes from interest rates to credit to commodities to FX and specialize in derivatives and Structured Finance / MBS / ABS / CDO / CLOs.
