Irish Securities Law
Ebook
This new title is concerned with the securities law provisions in the Companies Act 2014 and derivative enactments, which are of most concern to listed companies and companies issuing equity and debt securities in Ireland.
It deals comprehensively with the legal obligations to produce a prospectus or similar document, what is in it, what are the exceptions, what information must be made available to the markets and what are the other legal consequences on companies and dealers in shares and other securities as a result of having securities admitted to listing.
Part A of the book gives an overview of the four key areas: Prospectus, Listing, Market Abuse and Transparency. It explains the structure of the law to enable non-experts to understand the law. Part B gives the legal and regulatory texts, which will be more of interest to lawyers and financiers in this area who need to be familiar with the primary law, which is not as yet readily accessible.
Author: Paul Egan is a leading name in company law in Ireland. He is also the current Chairman of the Company Law Review Group, which is the body that advises the Irish government on the development of company law.
First book in the jurisdiction to deal specifically with securities law.
This area of law is of increased importance in the UK, post-Brexit.
