(ii) Substantive content about things I am ''not'' expert in, but which I’m learning and which has a bearing on legal practice: business management, complexity, systems theory, organisational sociology and so on. Much of this is in the form of book reviews, and (possibly hamfisted) longer essays attempting to synthesize what I have learned from these books. This material will also combine for the time being, remain free. | |||
(iii) detailed Capital markets legal documentation content. Analysis of master trading documents, and historical observations about how market dislocations and catastrophic events have unfolded, and how regulators and banking institutions have historically reacted to them. This material draws on 30 years of “school of life” ¹experience as a practising lawyer in the international financial markets. This will make up the bulk of the premium content. It shouldn't need to be said but, let's say it: this is an information resource and not specific legal advice. These opinions are personal, many of them idiosyncratic and, surprised surprise, contrarian. some of them are deliberately provocative. This material is designed for people who are employed in specialist negotiation and advisory capacities, who will already have a basic technical grounding in these disciplines. I frequently depart from conventional wisdom — stick two fingers up to it — and make no apologies for doing so. This material has obvious value, even if only to challenge your preconceptions, and should be treated as such: it may be wrong. I'm not perfect. But neither, as the JC’s financial disasters roll of honor demonstrates, is anyone else. Think of the JC as a contribution to your cognitive diversity quotient. | |||

The paid tier will help me improve the site and add content: resources to manage the technical back-end and tidy up some of the ad-hoc coding that it currently relies upon, which should make the whole thing more consistent, and — depending on how many subscribers we get! — bring in some help to build out content, making the site more comprehensive. | The paid tier will help me improve the site and add content: resources to manage the technical back-end and tidy up some of the ad-hoc coding that it currently relies upon, which should make the whole thing more consistent, and — depending on how many subscribers we get! — bring in some help to build out content, making the site more comprehensive. | ||
