Capital Markets Law
Capital market law is a legal field that regulates capital markets and financial instruments. This branch of law encompasses various legal issues related to securities traded in the capital markets (such as stocks, bonds, equity derivatives, etc.), from their issuance to trading and regulation. Capital market law serves the objectives of regulating financial markets, protecting investors, and ensuring financial stability. Here are some fundamental areas of capital market law:
Securities Regulation
Regulation of how securities are issued, registered, traded, and regulated. This may involve companies going public with securities such as stocks or bonds.
Stock Exchanges and Secondary Markets
Capital market law regulates how stock exchanges are structured and operate. It includes rules governing the listing and trading of securities on exchanges.

Capital Market Transaction Rules
Capital market transaction rules govern how securities transactions are conducted and set the rules for trading.
Reporting and Disclosure Requirements for Public Companies
Publicly traded companies are required to regularly provide financial information to investors and regulatory authorities. This includes disclosing financial statements, annual reports, and regular information disclosures.
Capital Market Supervision and Oversight
Capital market law governs the supervision and oversight of financial markets. This includes the powers and responsibilities of regulators and oversight bodies.
Bonds and Debt Securities
