Kathryn Trkla Co-Authors Second Edition of Definitive Authority on Derivatives Law

Foley & Lardner LLP partner Kathryn Trkla served as co-author of Derivatives Regulation, Second Edition, the defining authority on U.S. derivatives law.

Trkla draws on her over 40 years’ experience in the derivatives and securities industry, including 11 with the Chicago Board of Trade, as she explores the Commodity Exchange Act’s regulatory framework, the role of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and its coordination with federal and state authorities, the obligations of registered industry professionals, and the structure and oversight of United States derivatives markets.

Derivatives Regulation, Second Edition delivers a fully updated and reorganized treatment of the Commodity Exchange Act and modern derivatives markets. Building on the legacy of Philip McBride Johnson’s landmark Commodities Regulation, this edition reflects sweeping industry changes, including the Dodd‑Frank Act’s transformative framework for swaps and other OTC derivatives.

With expanded analysis, new foundational chapters, and contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, this treatise provides unmatched clarity and depth on a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and is an essential resource for attorneys, regulators, compliance professionals, and law libraries.
