Written by leading practitioners, Takeovers: Law and Practice provides clear, practical guidance on the legal and regulatory issues arising throughout the takeover process. It covers everything from structuring a transaction, pre-announcement steps and offer timetables through to conditions, mandatory offers, disclosure, directors’ duties, bid defence, schemes of arrangement and compulsory acquisition.
The Third Edition has been substantially updated to reflect significant developments in takeover law and practice, including the most extensive changes to the Takeover Code in recent years. It also provides detailed coverage of merger control, pensions, employee issues, tax and accountancy, competition and other areas that can have a critical impact on transactions.
A new chapter on Foreign Direct Investment Regulation further strengthens the book’s coverage of complex and cross-border transactions.
Combining authoritative legal analysis with a practical, transaction-focused approach, Takeovers: Law and Practice — Third Edition is an essential resource for practitioners and professionals involved in UK public company mergers and acquisitions.
