Katie Wheatley, Partner and Joint Head of the Criminal Law Team at Bindmans LLP recently reviewed ”Insider Dealing and Criminal Law: Dangerous Liaisons” for the Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation.

The book by Iwona Seredynska  contains a fascinating history of the development of the prohibition of insider dealing in the USA and Europe; a meticulous comparison of different regulatory and criminal laws that prohibit insider dealing; an analysis of the argument for and against the prohibition of insider dealing and a presentation of alternatives to criminalisation.
