The EU Crowdfunding Regulation is a comprehensive and timely analysis of the regulation aimed at facilitating the operation of crowdfunding platforms across the EU. It came into force on November 10, 2021. This book addresses legal questions raised by the regulation and assesses its impact on legal practice, considering the position of different types of crowdfunding. The analysis is divided into six parts. The first two parts explore the origins and significance of the regulation in European capital markets. They then define and evaluate the scope of the regulation. Parts three to five delve into the application of the regulation to the key stakeholders in crowdfunding: crowdfunding service providers, project owners, and investors who form the crowd. These sections examine the relevant obligations and safeguards applicable to each group. The final part focuses on managing, preventing, and resolving crowdfunding-related disputes. The book strikes a balance between academic scrutiny and practical context, including consideration of how the regulation interacts with UK law after Brexit. It draws upon various aspects of financial law, consumer law, and dispute prevention/resolution, making it an invaluable resource for legal practitioners and academics seeking a comprehensive understanding of this rapidly expanding mode of financing.
