This authoritative, advanced textbook offers theoretical and practical insight into the current EU legal framework as it applies to capital markets. It helps readers understand and critically analyse overall regulatory principles, and the interaction between market actors and EU law.
The Law of Capital Markets in the EU
- gives an overview of the foundations of EU capital markets
- discusses issuer disclosure obligations, inappropriate market practices and gatekeepers
- highlights the discrepancy between disclosure and enforcement and proposes their recalibration at the EU level.
Mainly focussing on EU law, some comparative analysis is also included, primarily related to UK, French and German laws. This aims to show gradual convergence between some national laws and, more generally, EU regulatory harmonization trends, which aim to increase the attractiveness of EU capital markets.
An ideal book for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students taking a module in Capital Markets Law, Securities Regulation, Corporate Finance Law, Financial Law or EU Company Law, as well as academics, policy makers and accounting, business or economics students who want to broaden their understanding of the subject.
