MAJOR SecReg

MAJOR SecReg was developed over 10 years for use by external securitisation counsel advising on the burgeoning EU-level and UK regulations addressing securitisation and asset-backed securities. MAJOR SecReg summarises and provides links to virtually every relevant EU-level and UK instrument. Relevant definitions are presented alphabetically on each summary for ease of reference. Navigation GUIDES allow quick identification of relevant provisions by reference to topic and counterparty. The ARCHIVE spans 20 years of regulation and BIS standards, beginning with Basel II.

MAJOR SecReg saves time, clarifies the UK and EU-level regulatory frameworks and provides cross-jurisdictional and chronological context.

MAJOR SecReg is continually updated.

The pace of EU-level regulation of securitisation gathered force in 2013, continually expanding and changing. As a boutique law firm led by senior securitisation lawyers, Raines & Co did not use a full-time knowledge lawyer. So began in 2014 an ambitious, computerised EU regulatory knowhow project, which grew more ambitious with Brexit and still more ambitious with the 1 November 2024 bifurcation of UK securitisation regulation into PRA and FCA regimes. This project developed into a powerful regulatory know-how tool, deployed in advising other law firms and their clients, in publications, and in client training. We have been encouraged to make it available to the market so, with leading data solutions firm Qbiz UK, we have developed a graphic user interface for MAJOR SecReg. We think it is too good to keep to ourselves.
