Course Aims | ||||||||||
This course aims to equip students with a sound general knowledge and conceptual understanding of aspects of Banking and Finance Law and aims to develop in students associated practical legal skills in the application of those principles to banking transactions. The modern economy is driven by credit and debt. The amount of new debt determines the amount of money that is released into the economy. This in turn stimulates various sectors of the economy, such as construction, communication, manufacturing, etc. Banking and Finance Law is central to this dynamic. In order to facilitate new debt, every modern economy requires a robust legal framework to give investors certainty of credit protection. Without proper legal framework, the whole global financial system would collapse. In a market downturn, knowledge of Banking and Finance Law is even more valuable for lawyers and other market participants. The course will cover both the theoretical and practice aspects of Banking and Finance Law, develop a good understanding of different types of financial instruments and structures in the market, insolvency and debt restructuring techniques, and how the legal concepts apply in each case. | ||||||||||
