European Securities Law is a comprehensive, practical guide to the law and regulations that govern Europe's capital markets. This work provides a practical guide to the application of the key EU Directives in the context of day-to-day corporate transactions, with a particular focus on practical issues arising as a result of the implementation of the key EU Directives among EU member states.

The work begins with a critical overview of the key legislation, including the Prospectus Directive, the Transparency Directive, the Takeover Directive, the Market Abuse Directive and MiFID. This is followed by an examination of common types of securities transactions, including equity offerings, debt offerings and programmes, private placements, takeovers and stakebuilding. A separate chapter is devoted to a discussion of liabiliity for London listings. Finally, the text provides a country-by-country analysis of specific issues that arise in 14 of the most significant member states.

Written by an expert contributor team from across the EU, European Securities Law is an invaluable source of practical know-how about the regulation and operation of the securities markets in Europe.

Readership: This work is essential reading for practitioners and in-house lawyers specialising in corporate finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions, as well as other finance professionals and market participants such as investment bankers. It will be relevant for practitioners in the UK, Europe, the US, Asia and any other jurisdictions involved in the field of European securities law.
