ABOUT THE AUTHOR

SUE WRIGHT qualified as a solicitor in 1981, and then practised international finance at Norton Rose for 16 years, for the latter half as a partner in the international finance department. Towards the end of that time Wright started teaching public courses on international loan documentation. When she retired from the Norton Rose partnership in 1997 Wright took responsibility for training the banking lawyers. In 1999 a new opportunity arose, to work for Herbert Smith, responsible for the firm’s legal training.

Since running the first course for Euromoney in 1995, its popularity has increased and become an industry standard for training junior bankers. It is also hugely popular among overseas lawyers. From a small beginning of running two three-day courses in 1995, she now runs the course for Euromoney several times a month all over the world (Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, Kenya, South Africa, Sweden, Austria, Moscow, Holland and Dubai, Britain and many more) and has added some additional courses to her growing portfolio.
