Professional LLM in Securities Law
Description
Program Overview:
Market globalization, competition and technological changes have had a significant impact on securities regulation. In addition, the global financial crisis has raised a number of challenging issues concerning the appropriate regulation of complex products, how regulatory responsibility is shared among entities, and the nature of systemic risk. This specialization, taught by leading academics and practitioners, covers: Canadian capital markets including complex financial products; transactions and legal structures; regulatory systems including disclosure requirements and enforcement regimes; and current and emerging international issues and influences. Students will leave this specialization with a deeper understanding of the most important theoretical and practical issues confronting securities lawyers in Canada today.
