"A monument of immense erudition" – Rabels Zeitschrift (review of the 8th edition)

The 9th edition of the leading work on transnational and comparative commercial and financial law covers a wide range of complex topics in the modern law of international commerce, finance and trade. As a guide for students and practitioners, it has proven to be unrivalled. The work is divided into 6 volumes which can be used independently or as part of the complete set.

Volume 1 covers the roots and foundations of private law, the different origins, structure, and orientation of civil and common law, and the social and cultural forces behind it.

Volume 2 covers the transnationalisation of dispute resolution, especially arbitration, and contains a critical analysis of the main challenges to its success, continuing credibility, and effectiveness.

Volume 3 deals with the transnationalisation of contract law. It compares common law and civil law concepts, and identifies the different attitudes to protection, risk management, and risk distribution.

Volume 4 deals with movable and intangible property law, addressing the transformation of the models of movable property in commercial and financial transactions.

Volume 5 looks at financial products and financial services, the structure and operation of banking and of the capital markets, and the role of modern commercial and investment banks.

Volume 6 deals with financial regulation of banks and banking activities and products.
