—Jason Pugh, Banking Lawyer; Managing Director, Deutsche Bank

"Investment banking professionals and their advisors will be glad for this book. It is timely, and it has attracted a very right author to the task of writing it. Legal data management has suddenly captured our attention, not least because of regulatory interest in the subject but also because of the commercial benefit of effective risk management and strategic thinking in this area – and because of the serious consequence of getting any of this wrong!

Akber Datoo has grown his legal technology business in stunning fashion, drawing on his legal training and considerable knowledge and experience of the financial products and contractual obligations and data they embody. He now generously shares with his reader in this reference work guidance on a range of relevant topics: capital, liquidity and collateral; recovery and resolution; client money and assets; mandatory margin requirements for uncleared derivatives; regulatory reporting requirements; and more. The book gives the necessary technical detail, yet remains readable and understandable. It is an excellent work, and the author is to be congratulated."

Aus dem Klappentext

A comprehensive guide to the domain of legal data in financial services

Legal Data for Banking defines the legal data domain in the context of financial institutions and describes how financial institutions can leverage legal data to achieve business optimisation, regulatory reporting and compliance, as well as operational management.

Legal data is at the heart of allowing financial firms to embrace the digital agenda, vital for both Fintech and Legaltech solutions in the banking industry. With the plethora of regulation that emerged after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, this is no longer a case of optimisation, rather a regulatory requirement. Accordingly, both lawyers and technologists need to deepen their grasp of legal data management and change management.

This book offers banking and legal professionals a much-needed explanation of how firms can deliver business value by bringing their legal teams into the fore of the business.

The author, Akber Datoo, is a noted expert in the field and explores a new model centred on legal digitisation to add business context to legal activity. Particularly within financial services, the new legal digital agenda is a chance to bring legal counsel further into business and use digitisation and data connectivity to achieve hyper-awareness both pre- and post-trade. With real-time recognition of key events and how they may affect a position, an empowered legal team can drive measurable new value.
