International Acquisition Finance is a new joint project with the International Bar Association providing a comprehensive analysis on the law and practice relating to acquisition finance at an international level. Filling a gap for a book on acquisition finance with a comparative nature, this work highlights the structure of practice and emphasises the differences of acquisition finance across 20 major jurisdictions including UK, Belgium, China, France, Germany and USA.

Written by leading experts from around the world this work will be of practical use to private practice lawyers and in-house lawyers at banks and companies. It contains an overview of the relevant issues to provide a basic understanding and to enable general decisions to be made when structuring cross-border acquisition finance transactions. Each chapter deals with the stages of the proposed transaction and its financing and the related issues which need to be considered in the different jurisdictions.
