Available for the first time in English, MiFID II: A New Framework for European Financial Markets is the definitive work on this crucial reform and its global impact. It provides a clear and concise guide to understanding – and complying with – the most complex and wide-ranging reform of European financial regulation in recent times. The book has also been extensively revised and updated since its original French publication.

E. de Fournoux, P. Laurent, F. Fleuret and B. Julé of AMAFi (Association francaise des marche financiers, Frances representative body for professionals in the securities industry and financial markets) were heavily involved in the drafting and implementation of the MiFID regulations. The partners of Spitz Poulle Kannan (Paris only law firm founded exclusively to provide advice on financial regulation and services), ensure that the text offers unrivalled expert guidance.

"I can only hail the publication of a work which summarises the principal elements of this reform, above all when it is produced by acknowledged professionals. The authors deserve thanks for contributing in such an incisive way to highlighting a dense, complex and decisive reform for the future of European financial markets."
