Fox and Bowen on the Law of Private Companies is a concise, practical text which deals specifically with the aspects of company law which are exclusively or particularly relevant to private companies. Although the focus is on the law, the book also provides a thorough examination of the tax and accounting issues. The second edition has been completely revised to take account of changes in both legislation and case law, including developments concerning shareholders' agreements, directors' duties of care and skill and constructive trusts.
