Biography
Stephen Connelly is Reader in Law at the University of Warwick, UK.
“This is a refreshing and timely book on finance law, which has been written with students in mind. Its expert author employs various tools to assist understanding of a complicated area of law. He adopts an impressive multi-faceted approach incorporating theory, practice and doctrine (including private law underpinnings), with reference to domestic and international corporate finance spheres.”
— Dr Alisdair MacPherson, University of Aberdeen, UK.
“Connelly’s masterful exposition of the English private law principles that underpin financial transactions fills a genuine gap in the market. It is precise, theoretically informed and user-friendly, containing valuable pedagogic elements – most prominently, case studies, diagrams and extensive extracts from leading cases.”
—Dr Andreas Kokkinis, Associate Professor, Birmingham Law School, UK.
“This is a clear and well-structured textbook that provides pedagogical clarity across foundational areas of finance law. Drawing on years of transactional legal experience and a critical theoretical lens, the book offers an invaluable account of core legal principles as they operate in modern financial transactions. Its layered structure—integrating doctrine, practice, and context—makes it a crucial resource not only for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, but also a valuable point of reference for researchers and policymakers.”
—Dr Karina Patricio Ferreira Lima, University of Leeds, UK.
