Banking and Finance Law is an elective course and an optional practice area within the ‘admission to practice’ component of the Master of Legal Practice (MLP).
This course is designed both for students who anticipate performing Banking and Finance work as an Australian legal practitioner and also for students seeking to extend their commercial legal knowledge, skills and values as prescribed for entry-level lawyers in Australia. Banking and Finance Law is especially valuable for transactional lawyering, as well as for the dispute resolution aspect of litigation lawyering. It is also relevant to community legal service and consumer advisory.
Within the MLP (admissions), this course complements the: 
• Commercial Practice component of the compulsory Professional Practice Core (PPC) course; and
• Consumer Law Practice elective/optional practice area.
By the end of this course, students should be able to demonstrate competence in: advising clients on some of the common ways to finance commercial transactions; drafting loan agreements and associated security documents, and taking the actions required to perfect those securities and ensure enforceability. 
The course will equip participants with the capacity to apply an advanced body of legal knowledge and principles in a range of contexts for professional practice in banking and finance.
