Overview of Bankers’ Law
Bankers’ Law is an independent, specialised journal dedicated to the development and analysis of international banking law. In a relatively short period of time, since its inception in the early 2000s, Bankers’ Law has successfully positioned itself as a reliable resource for lawyers, academics, bankers, and all those interested in the complex and rapidly evolving world of financial sector law. By providing content carefully selected to balance both academic rigour with commercial relevance, Bankers’ Law serves an important role in fostering informed debate and examination of banking law and practice both within the United States and jurisdictionally beyond.
Mission Statement and Editorial Guidelines
At the heart of the mission of Bankers’ Law is a commitment to providing legal and financial professionals with accurate, succinct, and incisive analyses of banking law. The guiding principle of the journal is that a respected knowledge of the law should be authoritative and accessible. Our articles, analyses, and resources make complex and thorny legal issues clear and easy to understand without becoming pedantic or sacrificing scholarly integrity. Our editorial team has been carefully chosen for its experience in the field and scholarship in banking law and finance. Each contribution meets their rigorous standards for relevance, up-to-dateness, and usability for readers as practitioners by the rapid developments in banking and financial services.
A Useful Tool for the Banking Industry
Bankers’ Law provides a comprehensive range of content specifically designed for legal practitioners, banks and financial institutions, educators, and students. Our journal offers:
- Sectoral analyses on issues impacting banks and other financial institutions ranging from regulatory compliance to litigation strategy
- Articles on topical themes including the bail-out regimes, recapitalisation plans, bonds versus loans, syndicated lending, investors’ claims and insolvency procedures

This variety of content means that market experts are not only able to keep abreast of their day-to-day activities but also get a perspective on emerging issues and trends in the world of banking law.
Global Perspective and International Reach
The banking world is global. So too is Bankers’ Law. Although our roots are in English banking law, we acknowledge and embrace the value of comparative insight in a single intertwined financial landscape. Our bloggers are drawn from a variety of jurisdictions, sharing knowledge about cross-border challenges and remedies, international regulatory regimes, and global best practice. The mix of perspectives empowers readers to better foresee legal developments, benchmark standards, and appreciate the application of universal banking law across jurisdictions. Whether from Chicago to Sydney, or Frankfurt to Paris, Bankers’ Law provides a truly international service for legal and financial practitioners.

Fresh thinking and new perspectives aside, the contribution of Bankers’ Law is to imagine not just how things are, but how they ought possibly to be, with respect to positive financial law.
