REVIEWS

“The legal practitioner interested in sukuk will be hard pressed to find a topic that is not covered here from securitisation to procedures and players, insolvency regimes and restructuring. […] This is a book that opens the mind to new ways of thinking about Islamic finance. It is also a useful practitioner’s guide and reference tool which lawyers will turn to on many an occasion I would recommend it to any lawyer serious about the subject matter.”
