"Laws and Regulations in Global Financial Markets is a perfectly balanced, direct, easy to understand yet comprehensive text from a master teacher. The book offers direct prose perfectly organized to take students well beyond surface level understanding of the material covered, as well as a welcomed international perspective." - Victor D. Lopez, Associate Professor of Legal Studies in Business, Hofstra University, USA "Dr. Girasa's book bridges the considerable gap between purely academic case books and strictly pragmatic practice guides. As general counsel of an investment advisor, I appreciate the ability to 'get smart' on a relevant topic by reading the appropriate chapter in this book. The discussions are concise and the questions posed are thought-provoking. This will be a useful tool for practitioners in a variety of disciplines." - Jordan Breslow, General Counsel, New Island Capital Management
