Ed Nalbantian has more than 30 years of experience representing counterparties in a broad range of cross-border structured finance transactions with a particular focus on over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and related debt capital markets financings.

Following the financial crisis, Ed's experience extended to the analysis and dispute resolution of credit-linked structured finance primarily from the Firm's role as Special Derivatives Counsel to the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. for which he headed the Firm's London team. He was also lead partner on Jones Day's representation of a major U.S. bank in evaluating its risk and documentation exposure in the derivatives, stock lending, and repo markets and, subsequently, in the context of the bank's credit rating downgrade.

More recently, Ed has been involved with a broad range of fintech issues in the derivatives markets including the drafting of documentation for cryptocurrency derivatives and related capital markets financings. He participates in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association's (ISDA) fintech working group and has recently addressed global custody issues related to cryptocurrencies in a podcast for FinTech Beat.

Ed also has experience with major strategic portfolio acquisitions of derivatives assets on behalf of major bank clients. This included Jones Day's representation of BNP Paribas on its acquisition of the £1.6 billion equity derivatives business of the Royal Bank of Scotland for which Ed was the lead London partner.

Ed served as co-leader of the Firm's Banking & Finance Practice from 2009 to 2015. He practiced in the Firm’s Paris Office from 1998 to 2004 and continues to represent clients involved in the Paris market.
