Securities Regulatory Compliance in Canada: Leading Lawyers on Understanding the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System and Assisting Clients with Cross-Border Compliance Issues (Inside the Minds)

Securities Regulatory Compliance in Canada is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the similarities and differences between U.S. and Canadian securities regulation and the key legal strategies for successful cross-border compliance. Featuring partners and chairs from some of Canada s leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the ins and outs of the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System and Sarbanes-Oxley and discuss the ways in which these pieces of legislation affect cross-border corporate relationships. Comparing and contrasting the approaches of each country's securities compliance framework, the authors offer their advice on understanding both systems and assisting clients in these countries with international business transactions. Additionally, these leaders discuss the effects of September 11th and the U.S. Presidential election on securities reform in both nations and speculate on future trends in financial reporting, corporate governance, and enforcement. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this evolving area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future.
