The Anatomy of Corporate Law A Comparative and Functional Approach

Descriere

This book is an analytical overview of the function of corporate (or company) law, based upon a comparison of the principal European jurisdictions, the US, and Japan. The authors conclude that the main function of corporate laws is to address conflicts of interests (between managers, shareholders, and third parties such as employees or creditors) and, despite economic and social diversity, that the legal strategies employed in the various jurisdictions to deal with these conflicts are surprisingly similar.
