'This collection of papers will prove itself to be an invaluable resource for any reader wishing to dig deeply into the fund of published scholarship on Corporate and Partnership Law and to have that material available in an easily accessible source. The authors are to be congratulated for their approach to selection; articles published in a wide range of law journals have been included, as have important reform proposals from the Law Commission. In short, the coverage is comprehensive and the contents compelling. This commentator unreservedly applauds this new entrant to the International Business Law library. It will appeal to a wide range of readers' - David Milman, Professor of Law, Lancaster University With contributions from the main stakeholders in the field, including company lawyers as well as leading scholars, this five volume collection of classic and contemporary articles maps out the key issues in Business Law. International Themes in Business Law moves logically from the establishment of companies, the funding and management of companies, the operation of companies in the global context and what happens when companies fail and how should they be reformed. Contributors demonstrate not only the depth of the complicated regulation which surrounds modern companies today, but also the breadth of the legal issues to be applied and analysed. Volume One: Corporate Personality, Incorporation, Registration, Memo and Articles Volume Two: Limited Liability Partnership Volume Three: Insider Dealing, Directors and Their Duties, Corporate Governance Volume Four: International Trade, Conflicts of Laws, Insolvency and Liquidation
