The Guide to International Enforcement of the Securities Laws - Second Edition

Capital these days seems to know no borders, but securities laws very much do. In that juxtaposition lie all sorts of challenges for those charged with investigating whether any law has been broken.

GIR’s The Guide to International Enforcement of the Securities Laws aims to make practitioners’ lives easier. Written by contributors with a wealth of experience, and edited by lawyers from Cravath, Swaine & Moore, this handy desktop reference guide seeks to address the most pressing questions in securities law enforcement.

The Guide to Compliance

The Guide to Compliance is the first volume to tackle the compliance side of the enforcement equation in a systematic way. It combines a tour d’horizon of the rules in place around the world with specific practical advice for corporations and their counsel, and scan of the horizon in parts two and three. It is part of the GIR technical library that has grown out of the Practitioner’s Guide to Global Investigations and now includes guides to, among other things, monitorships and sanctions.

The Guide to Sanctions - Third Edition

We live in a new era for sanctions, more than ever, it seems. More states are using them, in more creative (and often unilateral) ways. They’ve become many states’ first line of response.

This, alas, creates a degree of complication for everyone else. Hitherto no book has addressed those issues and the proliferation of sanctions regimes and investigations in a structured way. GIR’s The Guide to Sanctions solves that. Written by contributors from the small but expanding field of sanctions enforcement, it dissects the topic in a practical fashion, from every stakeholder’s perspective, and is an invaluable resource.

The Guide to Monitorships - Third Edition

Since WorldCom, the United States Department of Justice and other agencies have imposed more than 80 monitorships on a variety of companies, including some of the world’s best-known names. The terms of these monitorships and the industries in which they have been used vary widely. Yet many of the legal issues they raise are the same. To date, there has been no in-depth work that examines them.

GIR’s Guide to Monitorships fills that gap. Written by contributors with first-hand experience of working with or as monitors, it discusses all the key issues, from every stakeholder’s perspective, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding or practising in the area.

The Guide to Cyber Investigations - Second Edition

Data breaches and similar incidents pose a unique challenge – those targeted must both respond and investigate simultaneously. It is an art that is impossible without preparation.

Businesses wishing to prepare will find this volume, The Guide to Cyber Investigations, invaluable. It identifies every issue to consider when creating a response template and implementing it, giving both the law and plenty of practical and tactical advice.

Written by leading contributors, all with broad experience of serious data incidents, it is an indispensable desktop guide and a worthy companion to GIR’s larger volume on cross-border investigations, The Practitioner’s Guide to Global Investigations.
