Details

Complete analysis of all forms of multi-sourced financing, including non-mainstream multi-sourced financing practices

Detailed coverage of the main transaction documents

Inclusion of Commonwealth case law where relevant

Written in clear and practical terms

This new work provides analysis of the legal and regulatory facets of syndicated loans, secondary loan market practice and other related financial practices. Acknowledging the dynamic growth in the secondary loan market Mugasha covers loan trading, credit derivatives, collateralised debt obligations, mezzanine and hybrid debt solutions - all topical issues for structured finance lawyers.

Practices have changed noticeably over recent years and Mugasha addresses new legal issues that have arisen. Firstly, there are new methods of conducting business, through electronic trading platforms, the internet and a wide range of information providers (Capital Data, LoanWare and rating agencies). Secondly, regulatory aspects have evolved and initiatives like Basel II and the Equator Principles 2003, and are examined, as are the roles of significant players such as the Loan Syndications and Trading Association and the Loan Market Association.

As multi-bank financing remains a major instrument of commerce and finance in the national and international arenas and is notoriously complex, banking and corporate finance lawyers and in-house counsel at banks will value this practical text
