Company Law - Roach, Lee

. .

Résumé :
Lee Roach's Company Law is a thoroughly modern textbook, effortlessly engaging the student reader and leading them through the complexities of the law.

Focused on students, this account of company law is written with exceptional clarity. Supported with learning features, the core principles and doctrines are fully explained and explored, and consistently linked with fascinating, lively examples of the law in action.

While focused fully on discussing law and legal issues, the book also responds to modern critiques of corporate regulation by linking the legal issues to debates around corporate governance . The student is therefore given the complete picture: both how companies are regulated and why company law is so essential.
