Modules

The module aims to explain and analyse the rapidly developing areas of capital markets and international banking and consider how the law applies to them. Indeed in certain instances the structure of the law is something that is skilfully used to facilitate the banking transactions concerned. In particular the areas of lending, including bond issues, term loans and syndicated lending will be examined. Complex structures such as securitisation and derivative structures will also be looked at. In each instance the legal issues arising will be examined. Such arrangements will be examined and analysed together with a consideration of the specialised documentation used to facilitate transactions. More traditional arrangements such as letters of credit will also be considered. This all has to be seen in the context of the law and forum chosen by the parties to govern the arrangement, and on occasion by the courts.
