Company
commodiLAB Partners LLC is a full-service firm focusing on legal and business consulting services in global commodities and other commercial matters, including principal trading and investments.
Philosophy
commodiLAB Partners is your laboratory of ideas. A laboratory whose approach is innovative, practical, and cost-conscious.
Services
Our 20+ years of deep and direct involvement in commodities markets (energy, agriculture and metals) span all major jurisdictions and participants.
Among our current and former clients are global trading companies (e.g. Louis Dreyfus, Castleton, World Fuel), top Wall Street banks (e.g. Goldman Sachs, CIBC), major investment funds (e.g. Balyasny, Highbridge) and numerous sophisticated counterparties across the entire spectrum of the value chain.
Our services are always tailored to your specific situation, and we deliver those services efficiently, promptly and at a reasonable cost.
If commodities is your area or if you need an experienced commercial counsel for other matters, let us know and we will be glad to assist.
Expertise
We are ambidextrous in both physical delivery and derivatives/financially settled markets, and we are experts in logistics.
We value long-term relationships and, when necessary, can serve as your de facto in-house counsel (often at a fraction of the cost you would pay "on the street").
Beyond that, and in addition to providing broad transactional services, negotiating commercial agreements, and resolving disputes – in commodities and beyond – we are well positioned to be your trusted partner in principal trading matters, including financing, storage and transportation.
