Perspectives on Company Law

There are many, weighty challenges facing traditional company law that are analyzed in Perspectives on Company Law: 1, including capital maintenance, directors' duties, shareholders' rights, corporate governance, and corporate insolvency. The issues are dealt with against the background of legislation, regulation and case law in the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. The essays are based on papers presented by leading academics, practitioners, judges and government officials at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (London) seminar series `Issues in Company Law'.
