About the Event:

Professor Stephen Connelly’s Finance Law is a textbook designed for LLM and advanced LLB students with an interest in advanced applications of private law to modern financial transactions. Based on five years of post qualification experience and a decade of legal teaching, the book sets out to explain what finance is trying to achieve and what it demands from the law to do this. The focus of the text is the London Form of syndicated credit agreement – the core contractual basis for a multiplicity of transactions, from corporate financings to leveraged buyouts, from real estate finance to bilateral sovereign debt. Time is taken to explain why financial contracts are designed the way they are, and what stresses financial demands place on supposedly settled principles of private law.
