Company Law brings clarity and sophisticated analysis to the ever-changing landscape of company law. Brenda Hannigan captures the dynamism of the subject, places the material in context, highlights its relevance and topicality, and guides students through all the major areas studied at undergraduate level.
The book is divided into five distinct sections covering corporate structure (including legal personality and constitutional issues), corporate governance (including directors' duties and liabilities), shareholders' rights and remedies (including powers of decision-making and shareholder engagement), corporate finance (including share and loan capital), and corporate rescue and restructuring (including liabilities arising on insolvency).
The author's accessible writing style and comprehensive approach to the subject makes this an ideal textbook for students of company law.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
The book is well laid out and easy to navigate with good indexes and footnotes, and helpful references to updates from the previous edition. It is also very readable and treats company law rightly as a living organism relevant to the times and context in which it is set - not just black letter law. * David Glass, consultant solicitor at Excello Law, Law Society Gazette * A very comprehensive and authoritative text, with significant and useful reference material in every page * John Thompson, Lecturer, Ulster University * Brilliant for both law and non-law students studying company law...a good balance of in-depth analysis and accessible language * Dr. Min Yan, Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Buisness Law and Director of BSc Business with Law Programme, Queen Mary University of London * Student friendly, analytical and clear...straightforward in its structure and easy to use * Dr. Stelios Andreadakis, Senior Lecturer in Corporate and Financial Law, Director, Postgraduate Taught Programmes, Brunel University *
