International Securities Law

We’re witnessing seismic shifts in the international securities and capital markets. From cryptocurrency, to the perilous American-China relationship, to mounting challenges to America’s dominant role in capital formation, international securities law is rapidly evolving. We’ll explore these changes with you as they happen. We assume no familiarity with securities law. We’ll teach you what you need to know to understand the readings. We’ll use international securities law as a jumping-off point to teach some fundamental building blocks of securities law. We’ll also give you an overview of the law on cross-border transactions, the regulation of foreign securities professionals, jurisdictional issues, and how international securities regulators cooperate. Taught by two SEC trial lawyers. There are no prerequisites for this course. Evaluation Method: Class discussion is 25% of the final grade. The remaining 75% of the grade will be a paper. Class Materials: Everything you need will be made available online.
