As in the First Edition (1995) of this well-known book, the authors demonstrate that analysis and comparison of national corporate laws on a number of issues yield highly valuable general principles and observations, not least because business organisations, wherever located, tend to show a fundamentally similar set of legal characteristics. To its original selection of six representative jurisdictions – Belgium, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom – the Second Edition now adds Poland, thus including an Eastern European perspective to supplement those of continental Europe and the common law system of the UK. The book provides in-depth examination of the implications involved in such issues and trends as the following:
acknowledgement by other Member States of the legal status of a company formed in accordance with
a particular national law;
a company’s freedom to incorporate in a jurisdiction not ist own;
competition among the legal forms of different Member States;
safeguarding of employee involvement in cross-border transactions, especially mergers;
simplified company forms adopted in several jurisdictions;
creation of new forms of business organisations and step-up varieties of existing company forms; and
developments regarding group law.
Noting a powerful trend to modernise company law in order to meet the cross-border needs of the European business community, this revised edition will continue to be of great value to practitioners and academics who wish to acquire a better understanding of European corporate law, in ist supranational dimension as well as in the similarities and differences among the various national legal systems.
