Details

The Law and Practice of International Finance- University Edition is based on the author's university courses and provides authoritative and all-encompassing coverage of the law relating to international finance. The work covers the three principal approaches -the policies of the law, the legal rules and also the practical transactions- so that readers are presented with doctrine, data and deals, each of which throws light on the other.

For the first time, the topic is dealt with on a worldwide comparative basis with reference to nearly all of the world's 320 jurisdictions. The result is that readers have a panoramic view of interntational finance which not only has practitioner-based deals but also elucidates the law on a global basis without being tied to any single jurisdiction.

The topics covered in the book include:

Jurisdictions of the world, criteria for distinguishing jurisdictions and the main legal groups.
Insolvency policies and international finance.
International syndicated loans and bond issues.
Set-off and netting, together with payments and securities clearing systems.
Security interests worldwide and title finance.
The use of trusts in international finance.
The regulation of international finance.
Derivatives and securitisations.
Conflict of laws.
