Initiative Overview: In preparation for potential Brexit-related business migrations, many firms indicated that a significant number of new Give-Up Agreements may be needed to service clients via EU27-based affiliates or branches. Given the operational and legal efforts required to initiate and execute a high-volume of individual agreements in a short period of time, firms requested additional tools to assist in streamlining re-papering efforts. FIA Tech has worked with the FIA Law & Compliance Division to develop legal and technical solutions enabling these bulk-agreement transfers between entities. To this end, the 2018 FIA Tech Give-Up Agreement Transfer Protocol (the Protocol) was developed and introduced into Docs, which firms may adopt to support these bulk agreement transfers between affiliates.
