Now in its fourth edition the approach and structure of the Banking and Capital Markets Companion is unique. Written with reference to industry standard materials issued by the Loan Market Association, the international Swaps and Derivatives Association and the British Bankers’ Association, it offers ideal support for the Legal Practice Course developed for city law firms and also acts as a unique one-volume reference guide for practitioners.

Topics are broken down and analysed in bullet points, making the text extremely clear and accessible to the reader. Graphics, flow charts and summaries are used for complex areas, making information easier to recall. The Companion also makes an excellent starting point for primary source research, as case or legislation citation is included wherever possible.

This new edition has been substantially revised and updated with particular reference to the new Listing Rules and Prospectus Rules. New chapters on sovereign debt and on the principles of project finance have also been added together with new material on credit ratings, convertible bonds and warrants and financial collateral arrangements.
