Practical Company Law and Corporate Transactions has been written after a period of enormous change in the corporate world. This change has been driven in part by the corporate scandals affecting most of the major western economies and by ongoing regulatory developments in the UK and Europe.
As a result of these developments, company directors, company secretaries, compliance officers and their advisers operate in an increasingly complicated and changing legal environment, where penalties for non-compliance are substantial.
Practical Company Law and Corporate Transactions aims to provide readers with a user-friendly, single-volume company law resource. Written by City practitioners in clear and accessible language, each chapter includes not only an analysis of the law and its application, but also a wealth of worked examples and case studies to create a genuinely practical work.
This edition of Practical Company Law and Corporate Transactions also includes chapters covering the most common corporate transactions such as private company and business sales and acquisitions, and demergers.
