International Commercial Law

This is the only single-volume source for all the materials required for the effective practice of international commercial law: conventions on applicable law and on jurisdiction and enforcement, international contract principles, UCP600 and INCOTERMS 2000, all major arbitration and mediation rules, corporate governance codes, guidance for ongoing disclosures, ethical conduct, and much more. It provides invaluable support for in-house legal counsel and corporate lawyers, and offers the scholar and student a peerless desk-reference work.The Second Edition includes vital practical information on recent developments in such important aspects of the field as the following: taking of evidence in arbitration; service of legal documents abroad; enforceability of court-issued and arbitral awards; cross-border payments and guarantees (incl. UCP600); risk allocation in transportation (Incoterms 2000); the role of 'gatekeepers' such as credit rating agencies, securities analysts, and external auditors; global regulation of securities markets; disclosure of price-sensitive information; and regulatory measures against corruption and bribery.It has become virtually impossible for interested parties to collect their own copies of the various source materials. Hence this is a very welcome and truly indispensable book, far and away the most complete collection of applicable treaties, institutional rules, regulations, model laws, and codes any international commercial law practitioner, scholar, or student will find anywhere.
