My port in your heavy storm.
A favourite metaphor for U.S. Securities lawyers, who find safe harbors in many unexpected places, to shelter them and their clients from the vicissitudes of:
- The Bankruptcy Code, when you are endeavoring to close out derivative master agreements against U.S. corporations (and - perhaps not - ERISA plans);
- The Investment Advisors Act of 1940, for broker/dealers wishing to bundle fees for research services into their commissions for equity brokerage;
- The onerous registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, to be found under Rule 144A of that spectacular statute when selling securities to qualifying institutional buyers, and under Regulation S for non-US persons.
There are doubtless many more.
