Recenzii

This work is a collecion of essays....from nine distinguished authors who, drawn from the commercial and public law Bar and the banking industry, share several lifetimes' worth of practical experience and insight into this ever more complex, multi-layered and fast-moving area of law. It is welcome for that reason alone
The book succeeds as a comprehensive and sometimes thought-provoking guide to a difficult and multi-faceted topic.
This book is easily one of the most useful additions to the emerging literature on tainted money.
A thorough and well-researched resource for law libraries with collections on international banking, particularly those that deal with the UK or other European nations.
