Opis

Company Law Handbook 2017 addresses the key features and principles of modern company law from a practitioner's viewpoint in a practical, clear and user-friendly style. This book is designed to keep readers up-to-date on changes in the law as it affects the running of a business. Rather than taking an encyclopaedic approach, the book takes a more practical approach by charting the company life cycle from pre-incorporation through incorporation. It culminates with the winding up process, addressing, in detail, the essential requirements in establishing a company, including the steps, procedures, and documents that are required during the existence of the corporation. A significant feature of the handbook is the consideration of new topics including legal aspects of corporate social responsibilities, human rights, corporate bribery, and corporate manslaughter, and topics that have a direct bearing on the legal and practical aspects of company law. The handbook also highlights significant cases and principal judgments that impact UK company law. The included checklists guide readers through legislative provisions and their application to the day-to-day running of a business throughout its life cycle. Key definitions at the end of each chapter will help simplify the legal concepts involved. (Series: Directors Handbook Series) Subject: Company & Insolvency Law]
