This volume is a guide to the legal framework in which companies operate. It follows the life of a company from start-up and financing, through directors' duties and the issue of shares, to reconstruction and insolvency, providing a concise and comprehensive introduction to the subject without over-simplifying the complex issues involved. "Company Law" is logically structured, and includes helpful summaries for each chapter, along with casenotes and exercises. The fourth edition of this book has been updated throughout and a new final chapter looks at the relationship between transglobal corporations and World Development.
