Module Overview:
As a business vehicle, the limited company is widely used. One of the reasons for its popularity is its ability to successfully raise business finance and diversify financial risk. All companies need to raise money to function successfully. And it is these issues of money which are the gravamen of international corporate finance law. An understanding of the ways in which companies can raise money, and the manner in which their money-raising activities are regulated, is central to an understanding of how companies function. Students taking this module have the opportunity to participate in wide-ranging but analytically precise discussions of international corporate finance law.

Through it, students may expect to develop some of the skills and dispositions of professionals in the field. An acquaintance with the subject is not pre-supposed, nor is it necessary to have studied company law. Students will be given pre-sessional materials in addition to an introductory lecture to bring them up to speed. This, in turn, will facilitate a much deeper understanding of the subject.
