Market globalization, competition and technological changes have had a significant impact on securities regulation. In addition, the global financial crisis has raised a number of challenging issues concerning the appropriate regulation of complex products, how regulatory responsibility is shared among a number of entities, and the nature of systemic risk. This cutting-edge program, taught by leading academics and practitioners covers: Canadian capital markets, including complex financial products, transactions and legal structures; regulatory systems, including disclosure requirements and enforcement regimes; and current and emerging international issues and influences. Students will leave this program with a deep and broad understanding of the most important theoretical and practical issues confronting securities lawyers in Canada today.

The degree requirements will be satisfied upon the completion of 36 credits. The 36
credits can be obtained by either course work or a blend of course work and a Major Research Paper.

Courses will be offered in a combination of weekly and intensive formats. Videoconferencing is available for most courses although occasional attendance in person in Toronto is required (refer to website for specific details on each course).

Note: Faculty, curriculum, course descriptions and degree requirements are subject to change without notice.
