Case study: Origo Services
A unique legal framework for electronic trading in financial
services
Origo Services was set-up by leading life assurance companies to
facilitate the development of electronic trading between principals
and agents for Life, Pensions and Collective Investment
business.
Pinsent Masons worked with Origo on a ground-breaking project
for the financial services sector, which involved advising on and
drafting a standard legal framework. The framework deals with the
security and contractual issues surrounding the electronic transfer
of data between financial services product providers and IFAs
through third-party service providers or portals.
The Contract Enquiry Legal Framework was adopted in April 2004
and is now being implemented by the UK life assurance and pensions
industry.
Rankine Agnew, e-Business Consultant at Origo Services, said of
working with the team at Pinsent Masons:
"Masons' ability to combine sound technical knowledge with a
thorough understanding of our market place is exceptional. Their
professional, enthusiastic and thorough approach to work is
refreshing, and continually increases our confidence in their
ability. In addition, our business partners are impressed by
Masons' contribution to the project which reflects well on Origo.
They add value to our team."
Masons merged with Pinsents on 6th December 2004 to become
Pinsent Masons.
