- What is the Bankers’ Law? It is a specialist banking law journal, published in association with institutions of higher education specialising in banking and financial law. It is unique in the fact that, on top of English banking and financial law there is also major input from international “jurisdictions”. As things are “global” these days… we are glad to announce several articles from colleagues abroad, working for leading foreign law firms in Hong Kong, Germany or USA for example. These colleagues spearheading their Legal and Commercial practice in Finance/Corporate law.
- Kindly have a read of the selected academic reading available to take your own study further. We are hopeful that our recommended academics resources will be available to assist both law and non-law students in higher education.
- Today’s finance sector has become increasingly focused on short term efficiencies and losses, however, we are determined to go against the tide, slowly but surely to bring back an effective focus on practical and good Law. We have our own vision of what practitioners need in their lawyer repertoire, and it is interesting to consider the future need for practitioners in legal services.
