Publisher Full Court Press

Securities law is undeniably central to our economy and livelihood, but for many the law can be arcane and opaque. This handbook, written by a litigator who has taught securities law at two law schools, as well as at the Securities and Exchange Commission, will help to lead practitioners, law professors, law students, and even those not schooled in the law, through the maze of American securities. This handy reference text includes guidance on the registration of securities and public offerings, civil and criminal liability, the prohibition of market manipulation and insider trading, as well as the intricacies of securities litigation, class actions, and the arbitration of securities disputes. Among other subjects, it also covers the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the current attempts to regulate the sale of cryptocurrencies as securities.
