Details
The Law and Practice of International Finance series is your definitive guide to international finance. It considers the full range of topics across nine volumes, setting out the law and practice of trading assets on the international markets. This essential work, by one of the leading finance specialists of a generation, provides a simple, unified and distilled account of the whole topic.

This book explains how core issues of international finance are affected by conflict of laws issues. It explains the governing law of contracts, arbitration, an enforcement of foreign judgments. It sets out the conflict of laws issues for each of the products and processes covered in the other books in the series, including security interests, title finance, trusts, regulation and insolvency.
