Product Description

In an increasingly global world, capital raising, securities trading and mergers and acquisitions often involve some connection with the United States and implicate the US securities laws. This work offers a concise overview of the law and practice of issuing securities, listings, takeovers and the securities markets in the United States from the perspective of a non-US participant. Originally published in 1992, this new edition has been significantly expanded and updated. The book is intended primarily for managers, financial intermediaries, lawyers and others seeking an overview of the topic. It offers a combination of practical insight and precise analysis.

Review
"This book has been a valuable resource in effectively counselling my company in the intricacies of SEC regulation. Jim, with his many years of counselling foreign issuers out of his firm's London office, writes with a perspective that is particularly relevant to the needs of foreign companies listed on US exchanges." George Miller, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Novartis Corporation. "A well written and useful primer for those looking for quick, practical answers to real life questions or who wish to understand better the background and rationale to US securities law and regulation." Leland Goss, Managing Director, Credit Suisse. "This book really is a practical guide to the US securities laws. It does a great job of explaining the rules and regulations in a way that can be understood by readers that are not themselves US securities lawyers." Peter Castellon, Director & Counsel, Citigroup Corporate & Investment Banking."
