The book includes chapters on what multi-bank financing is and who does it, relevant areas of law (including contract, torts, insolvency, tax, and statutes, such as the Bank Act), the mechanics of arranging loan syndications and loan participations, financial accommodation used (direct loans, bank guarantees, letters of credit, and bankers' acceptances), legal relations between parties in loan syndications and loan participations, rights and duties of the agent bank, securities regulation issues in loan syndications and loan participations, and accounting and tax issues in loan syndications and loan participations. Agasha Mugasha argues that loan syndications, loan participations, and related practices are commercial transactions between sophisticated parties and should be analysed and regulated as such. Sample documents for syndicated facility agreements, participation agreements, sale and participation agreements, and standby letters of credit are provided in appendices. Based on law in Canada, particularly Ontario, The Law of Multi-bank Financing includes discussions of a significant body of United States jurisprudence as well as the most important court decisions in other common-law countries.

This new work provides analysis of the legal and regulatory facets of syndicated loans, secondary loan market practice and other related financial practices. Acknowledging the dynamic growth in the secondary loan market Mugasha covers loan trading, credit derivatives, collateralised debt obligations, loan trading, mezzanine and hybrid debt solutions - all topical issues for structured finance lawyers. Practices have changed noticeably over recent years and Mugasha addresses new legalissues that have arisen. Firstly, there are new methods of conducting business, through electronic trading platforms, the internet and a wide range of information providers (Capital Data, LoanWare and rating agencies). Secondly, regulatory aspects have evolved and initiatives like Basel II and the Equator Principles 2003, and are examined, as are the roles of significant players such as the Loan Syndications and Trading Association and the Loan Market Association. As multi-bank financingremains a major instrument of commerce and finance in the national and international arenas and is notoriously complex, banking and corporate finance lawyers and in-house counsel at banks will value this practical text

This new major practitioner text provides an analysis of the legal issues that arise in, and the commercial and regulatory background of, international financing transactions. The work opens with an overview of the various methods of raising international finance set in the context of the legal and regulatory issues. The author covers ways in which a creditor may be protected against default considering security, quasi-security and guarantees. There is also a discussion of the content and structure of a loan agreement, examining each part of such an agreement in the context of the relevant legal principles. A chapter on syndicated lending follows the discussion of the loan agreement, setting out important theoretical and legal issues relevant to cases involving multi-bank financing. A substantial section of the work is given to an explanation of the conflicts of laws issues which may arise in an international transaction. In this section important aspects such as dispute resolution and sovereign/state immunity are covered in detail. The work concludes with guidance on matters relevant to specific areas of finance such as projects, derivatives and bonds and, finally, a discussion of the purpose and methods of loan transfers and securitization.

This acclaimed and comprehensive work analyses the legal issues involved in international finance transactions operating under English law. The second edition thoroughly updates the book to take account of major developments in regulation, practice, and case law since the first edition published in 2008. The most notable development in the intervening period has been the global financial crisis of 2008-9, whose effects have profoundly changed the nature of international finance, and the new edition has been updated by a team of expert editors and contributors to reflect the post-crisis legal framework of international transactions. The new edition covers the many significant changes to Bank Regulation which have occurred since 2008. Major developments in conflicts of laws and cross-border insolvency are addressed, including the consequences of the decision in Rubin v Eurofinance. This edition also takes account of major litigation in the sovereign debt field, significant developments in the loan markets, and recent challenges with the provision of legal opinions, including the increasing need to provide opinions in cross-border transactions. Developments in financing structures in the aftermath of the financial crisis are examined. Significant litigation in the derivatives field (partly as a response to the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.) and amendments proposed by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association are also addressed. There is also coverage of further work on secured transactions following the Law Commission's and the City of London Law Society's Working Party's proposals. Providing detailed transaction-led analysis of all aspects of international finance practice, this work is a must-have reference source for all practitioners and academics working in the field.

Governance and law are today firmly on the agenda of the World Bank and other international financial institutions. As the scope of the governance agenda expands, so does the need to discuss and analyse the variety of factors that should be taken into account to ensure success in the implementation of governance-related projects. This book, written by a distinguished group of lawyers and practitioners from developed and developing countries, addresses a wide range of issues related to governance both at the local and international levels. It covers topics that have long been on the governance agenda, such as judicial training, privatisation, financial sector reform and various aspects of capacity building. It also covers many issues that have only recently become part of the development agenda, such as legal education, the politics of institution building in rural and urban communities and the role of political parties in the establishment of democracy. It includes studies that explore the often neglected links between the structures of domestic governance and the growing number of international economic law rules in the areas of trade, investment, technology transfer and the environment.

Bank Liquidity Creation and Financial Crises delivers a consistent, logical presentation of bank liquidity creation and addresses questions of research and policy interest that can be easily understood by readers with no advanced or specialized industry knowledge. Authors Allen Berger and Christa Bouwman examine ways to measure bank liquidity creation, how much liquidity banks create in different countries, the effects of monetary policy (including interest rate policy, lender of last resort, and quantitative easing), the effects of capital, the effects of regulatory interventions, the effects of bailouts, and much more. They also analyze bank liquidity creation in the US over the past three decades during both normal times and financial crises. Narrowing the gap between the "academic world" (focused on theories) and the "practitioner world" (dedicated to solving real-world problems), this book is a helpful new tool for evaluating a bank's performance over time and comparing it to its peer group. - Explains that bank liquidity creation is a more comprehensive measure of a bank's output than traditional measures and can also be used to measure bank liquidity - Describes how high levels of bank liquidity creation may cause or predict future financial crises - Addresses questions of research and policy interest related to bank liquidity creation around the world and provides links to websites with data and other materials to address these questions - Includes such hot-button topics as the effects of monetary policy (including interest rate policy, lender of last resort, and quantitative easing), the effects of capital, the effects of regulatory interventions, and the effects of bailouts
