Tracing the origins of legal risk as a phenomenon in the global financial markets, particularly in the UK market, this book analyses the different components of legal risk in light of the global financial crisis, identifying characteristics, examples and management strategies, and analyses current and recent legal risk concerns as well as looking to the future.
Fully updated from the first edition, this book includes substantial new material on the global financial crisis and its effects on legal risk, coverage of responses to the Crisis in the UK and elsewhere, including G20 proposals and EU initiatives, and substantial new material on globalisation issues. The book also considers the impact of case law, statute law and regulatory change on the management of legal risk.

This is essential reading for every banking and corporate lawyer and it is an absolute must for anyone involved in setting out rules or guidelines in the management of legal risk...Overall this book represents a significant contribution in this complex area of law. * Gabriel Gomez Giglio, Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation. * The book is stimulating and informative. There is reference to almost every conceivable aspect of the recent financial crisis, from its origins to the legal and regulatory responses in the UK and elsewhere. * Matteo Solinas, Edinburgh Law Review *
