Dr Thomas Keijser is Senior Researcher at the Business and Law Research Center of Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands. From 2007-2012, he worked for UNIDROIT as Senior Officer, later Consultant, responsible for the Geneva Securities Convention. Dr Keijser is co-editor of the Official Commentary on the UNIDROIT Convention on Substantive Rules for Intermediated Securities (OUP, 2012). The contributors form a first class international team in the area of intermediated securities.

Seven years have passed since the internationally acclaimed first edition of this volume appeared. Since both the legal (commercial and regulatory law) and the technological environment for the creation, the custody and the transfer of securities (or other transactions) have been further developed, this new edition is more than an update. Important new chapters have been added (for example, on enforcement of security interests in securities under uniform law and on crypto securities), and all chapters reflect the current state of the law as well as its rigorous and thought provoking analysis by the finest experts in the field. Moreover, legislators and regulatory agencies will greatly benefit from the eagle-eyed identification of conceptual and practical problems and the need for future work.
