World Law Group Series Volume 1

The International Securities Law Handbook is an easily-accessed desk reference for lawyers and others involved from time to time in the issuance or sale of securities outside their own national jurisdiction. This Handbook presents briefly, in uniform summary form, the key elements of securities law and regulations in twenty national jurisdictions and seven U.S. state jurisdictions. It makes it possible for a foreign lawyer to gain a general understanding of the legal environment affecting securities, to perceive the types of questions which need to be addressed, to talk intelligently with his/her clients concerning these questions and the need for foreign legal advice and assistance, and to interact effectively with foreign counsel, as required.
