Company Law Reviews

Review from previous edition This remains an excellent, concise textbook on company law. Christopher Riley, Reader in Law, Durham University My favourite shorter text on company law. The authors provide a crisp, clear overview of the law but remain analytical at the same time. It is very well structured and easy for students to follow. Rob Heywood, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of East Anglia
