Nos termos em que foram densificados os parâmetros mínimos de anotação - e não obstante a liberdade pressuposta reconhecida e aliás evidentemente reconhecível no texto que agora se dá à estampa -, pretendeu-se que cada anotação pudesse sintetizar elementos: - de definição de paradigma, a que não pode deixar de corresponder a letra da lei; - de elenco de desafios, a que certamente correspondem as questões interpretativas sub judice; - de reconhecimento de polémicas querelas, a que emprestam acolhimento as decisões jurisprudenciais; - de desenho de linhas de força de evolução, segundo o juízo do autor da anotação.

Offers a comprehensive theory on the risks and benefits of incorporating economic theory in capital markets and corporate lawmaking.
This comprehensive book offers a rigorous analysis of the legal debates, approaches and practice-related issues surrounding financial advice and investor protection. Despite widespread recognition of the importance of financial inclusion more broadly construed, recent financial crises have highlighted deficits in retail investor protection – this book informs the development of robust yet adaptable frameworks to protect investors, including effective enforcement and dispute resolution.
The third edition of this acclaimed book continues to provide a discussion of key theoretical and policy issues in corporate finance law. It has been fully updated to reflect developments in the law and the markets. One of the book's distinctive features is its equal coverage of both the equity and debt sides of corporate finance law, and it seeks, where possible, to compare and contrast the two. This book covers a broad range of topics regarding the debt and equity-raising choices of companies of all sizes, from SMEs to the largest publicly traded enterprises, and the mechanisms by which those providing capital are protected. Each chapter provides a critical analysis of the present law to enable the reader to understand the difficulties, risks and tensions in this area, and the attempts by the legislature, regulators and the courts, as well as the parties involved, to deal with them. The book will be of interest to practitioners, academics and students engaged in the practice and study of corporate finance law.
O Código Civil Comentado constitui uma aspiração antiga e pensada. A iniciativa vai ao encontro das necessidades de práticos, de estudantes e de estudiosos. Formalmente, ela aproveita a experiência colhida noutras iniciativas do Centro de Investigação de Direito Privado e nas mais consagradas anotações europeias. O Código Comentado disponibiliza, de modo sintético e eficaz: (1) a origem dos preceitos; (2) as suas conexões relevantes; (3) os entendimentos doutrinários significativos; (4) a prática dos nossos tribunais superiores. O primeiro volume ora dado à luz preenche a Parte geral. Percorre traves estruturantes do ordenamento: as fontes e a sua interpretação, o Direito internacional privado, as pessoas singulares, as pessoas coletivas, as coisas, o negócio jurídico, a prescrição, a caducidade e as provas. Rubrica a rubrica e artigo a artigo, dá conta dos preceitos, do estado das questões, da doutrina e da jurisprudência, bem como dos diplomas complementares.
This book covers three topics that have dominated financial market regulation and supervision debates: digital finance, sustainable finance, and the Banking and Capital Markets Union. Within the first part, seven chapters will tackle specific questions arising in digital finance, including but not limited to artificial intelligence, tokenisation, and international regulatory cooperation in digital financial services. The second part addresses one of humanity’s most pressing issues today: the climate crisis. The quest for sustainable finance is driven by political actors and a common understanding that climate change is a severe threat. As financial institutions are a cornerstone of human i...
O governo societário dos bancos ocupa um lugar destacado na história do nosso tempo. De um lado, o início do século XXI assistiu a crises agudas num número alargado de instituições bancárias, expondo deficiências nítidas nas estruturas e práticas de governação respetivas. De outro lado, o caudal de intervenções legislativas e recomendatórias sobre este tema tem sido impressivo e não cessou ainda de se manifestar. Ambas as vertentes reclamam a maior atenção e justificam o presente volume, que representa a oitava publicação do grupo de investigação independente Governance Lab. Além de cuidar da evolução internacional dos temas que gravitam em torno da governação de bancos, combinando análises jurídicas e análises económico-financeiras, este livro retrata o regime de cada sistema jurídico lusófono, percorrendo sucessivamente os dados respeitantes a Angola, Brasil, Cabo Verde, Macau, Moçambique, Portugal, São Tomé e Príncipe e Timor-Leste.
