Securities and Investment Law

Securities and Investment Law is a branch of financial law that regulates the buying, selling, and issuing of financial instruments, like stocks and bonds. Its main purpose is to protect investors from fraud, ensure fair markets, and promote transparency in financial transactions. This law governs how companies raise funds by selling securities and outlines the responsibilities of financial professionals. It also establishes guidelines for how investments can be marketed and sold to the public, ensuring that all parties have access to important information to make informed decisions.
