Capital Market Risk Advisors, Inc. (CMRA) has been providing Risk Advisory and Litigation Support Services for over 30 years. CEO and founder Leslie Rahl was an original derivatives pioneer and ISDA Board member and Partner Dr. Peter Niculescu has extensive experience in structured finance, MBS, ABS, and both OTC and exchange traded derivatives. CMRA’s senior professionals each have decades of direct market experience that includes trading, managing risk, working with regulators, and serving on Boards of Directors and have been at the forefront of risk management since the early 80’s. CMRA partners have provided expert and consulting services for over 75 disputes and have testified in courts across 4 jurisdictions. We specialize in derivatives (interest rate, credit, equity, fx, commodity, volatility), asset-backed securities, mortgage securities, structured finance and other complex financial products and strategies. We merge the wisdom of working through the crises dating back to 1987 as practitioners, risk advisors, board members, and experts in litigation with the up-to-date knowledge garnered by our active risk advisory practice coupled with our Board service experience. We use our extensive experience with quantitative and communication skills to effectively "translate" complex issues for Boards and courts. We are equally fluent in the language of quants, the language of the court, and the language of the boardroom. The lessons we have learned from conducting investigations, post-mortems, and as experts in disputes and litigation, inform our unique approach to risk advisory and avoiding problems.
