Market abuse and insider dealing have always posed significant concerns for individuals and organizations operating in the financial sector. As early as the 19th century, laws were enacted to prevent attempts to manipulate markets and ensure fair trading practices. However, with the advent of new technologies and globalized financial markets, the line between legitimate business practices and market abuse has become increasingly blurred.

In recent years, both the UK and European regimes have undergone significant changes in their approach to market abuse and insider dealing. These changes have raised questions about the communication between financial institutions and investors, as well as the access of corporate executives and analysts to sensitive information.

Market Abuse and Insider Dealing, the fourth edition of this comprehensive legal guide, provides a thorough analysis and assessment of the law relating to market abuse and insider dealing. It covers a wide range of topics, including:

• An analysis of the impact of Brexit on market abuse and insider dealing regulations.
• Significant new case law and legislation, such as MiFID II, Money Laundering Regulations 2017, the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, the Criminal Finances Act 2017 with Unexplained Wealth Orders, and the Fifth Money Laundering Directive.
• A comprehensive review of the new Corporate Governance Code, which includes guidelines on control and senior managers' responsibility/liability.
• An exploration of the FCAs competition law jurisdiction in relation to market abuse, where appropriate.
• A new table of UK decided market abuse cases, providing valuable insights into past enforcement actions and their implications.

It is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Banking and Finance Law online service, which offers access to a wide range of legal resources and expert analysis.
