Droit

Regulatory complexity in capital markets compounds every year, and institutions that rely on manual interpretation of disclosure rules across hundreds of jurisdictions face both operational drag and genuine legal exposure. Droit addresses this at the decision layer: its patented Adept platform encodes regulatory rules into machine-readable logic and evaluates each transaction in real time, with sub-millisecond latency, to determine what is legally permissible before a trade is executed or reported.

The platform spans the full lifecycle of regulatory obligation, covering:

• Pre-trade client readiness checks to confirm counterparty eligibility before execution
• Point-of-trade decisions based on live regulatory and market infrastructure rules
• Trade and transaction reporting validation across global jurisdictions
• Exchange traded derivatives reporting with quality assurance and root cause analysis
• Position reporting and shareholding disclosure, backed by consensus logic developed through the Endoxa consortium of Barclays, BNP Paribas, Goldman Sachs, and HSBC

Droit’s primary clients are large sell-side and buy-side financial institutions, including Wells Fargo, UBS, and Goldman Sachs. Buy-side firms approaching disclosure thresholds across multiple jurisdictions use the platform to automate reporting decisions that would otherwise require duplicated legal review. The Endoxa consortium model, where industry practitioners and legal experts from Allen and Overy collectively validate rule interpretations, gives the platform a defensible audit record tied directly to source regulatory text.

For family offices operating at institutional scale or with complex cross-border trading activity, Droit offers a credible alternative to bespoke legal review processes. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the platform has historically been deployed on-premise by larger firms with dedicated IT teams, though a SaaS delivery route is available through its partnership with KOR. Family offices without significant internal technology infrastructure may find the implementation requirements and institutional positioning a limiting factor.
