The third edition of this acclaimed book continues to provide a
discussion of key theoretical and policy issues in corporate finance
law. It has been fully updated to reflect developments in the law and
the markets. One of the book's distinctive features is its equal
coverage of both the equity and debt sides of corporate finance law, and
it seeks, where possible, to compare and contrast the two.
This book covers a broad range of topics regarding the debt and
equity-raising choices of companies of all sizes, from SMEs to the
largest publicly traded enterprises, and the mechanisms by which those
providing capital are protected. Each chapter provides a critical
analysis of the present law to enable the reader to understand the
difficulties, risks and tensions in this area, and the attempts by the
legislature, regulators and the courts, as well as the parties involved,
to deal with them. The book will be of interest to practitioners,
academics and students engaged in the practice and study of corporate
finance law.
