counterparties
Other deal signers
Counterparties is the plural of counterparty—the other party in a financial transaction or contract.
In any deal, your counterparty is whoever sits across the table: the buyer if you're selling, the lender if you're borrowing.
The term appears frequently in legal and financial contexts: The bank's counterparties include hedge funds and pension managers.
Counterparty risk is the chance that the other side won't fulfill their obligations.
