C&F Publishing publishes a range of guides to law and regulation, focusing principally on financial regulation, corporate finance, public private partnerships and other related business sectors. The C&F Publishing philosophy is to add value by providing practical insight into the implications of law and regulation, rather than merely reciting the rules themselves. This is achieved by having each publication written by a team of leading practitioners, who collectively bring to bear many years' experience on the topic in question. Although its origins are in book publishing, the division also publishes a number of subscription-based periodicals.
