European Corporate Law

147,08€ + 10% CARD

 This fully updated new edition provides an overview of the law regarding companies, business organizations, and capital markets in Europe, at both the European Union (EU) and Member State levels. It introduces the reader to the EU harmonization programme and describes how this has influenced corporate law in the various EU Member States. The authors describe common denominators as well as differences in the approach of national corporate laws.The authors highlight current and emerging trends in these areas of corporate law, including:<ul><li> the freedom of establishment of companies within the EU;</li><li>the European harmonization process and Member States’ implementation of EU legislation;</li><li>employee involvement in business organizations;</li><li>the division of power between the different corporate bodies;</li><li>the functioning and regulation of company groups; and</li><li>cross-border business combinations, takeovers and restructuring tools.</li></ul> The laws of France, Germany and the Netherlands in particular are discussed and contrasted. This discussion also includes the United Kingdom, although no longer an EU Member State. As in earlier editions, the authors demonstrate that analysis and comparison of national corporate laws yield highly valuable general principles and observations, not least because business organizations, wherever located, tend to show a fundamentally similar set of legal characteristics. The Fourth Edition will continue to be of great value to practitioners and academics who wish to acquire a better understanding of European corporate law, in its supranational dimension as well as in the similarities and differences among the various national legal systems. It can also be used as a handbook for comparative corporate law courses.

Regulating Hedge Funds In The Eu

by Alexandros Seretakis

131,18€ + 10% CARD

 Hedge funds remain the most controversial vehicles of the alternative investment funds universe. Their opaque nature, alleged role in major crises around the world and perceived lack of investor protection have repeatedly led to calls for greater regulation. Yet despite its tremendous growth, the hedge fund industry is still shrouded in a veil of mystery largely due to the highly complex and dynamic trading strategies employed by hedge funds and the scarcity of information about them. For the first time in one comprehensive volume, this concise but thorough guide explains how hedge funds work, analyses risk, compares the European Union (EU) and United States (US) systems and proposes reforms to the European framework in order to improve its resilience.Focusing on the contribution of the hedge fund industry to systemic risk, the author elucidates the complex world of hedge funds and the legal issues linked to it. The analysis proceeds as follows:<ul><li>introduction to the world of hedge funds - definition, main characteristics, organizational structure, investment strategies, and benefits;</li><li>deeply informed exploration of the dangers posed by hedge funds;</li><li>documentation and examination of the major incidents connecting hedge funds and financial crises;</li><li>rationales for regulation of hedge funds;</li><li>comparison of relevant legislative developments in the US and EU; and</li><li>proposals for strengthening the current EU supervisory and regulatory framework.</li></ul>Guiding legislation, such as the EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive and the US Dodd-Frank Act, is analysed, along with topical issues such as hedge fund activism.Because the direction that hedge fund regulation takes in the future has implications for the Eurozone and systemic risk in the wider financial system, this book will be of immeasurable value to professionals in both the legal and business communities. It will be welcomed by corporate lawyers, regulatory authorities, policymakers and academics in both business-related and finance-related disciplines.

European Insolvency Proceedings - Commentary On Regulation (Eu) 2015/848 Of The European Parliament And Of The Council Of 20 May 2015 On Insolvency Proceedings (Recast)

292,83€ + 10% CARD

 In the European Union, the effectiveness of judicial protection granted to a business or consumer in crisis depends on the extent and manner in which court rulings in bankruptcy and restructuring cases are recognised in all Member States. This article-by-article commentary on Regulation (EU) 2015/848 provides expert guidance through the entire course of insolvency proceedings, clearly showing how to solve specific problems that arise in insolvency cases with a cross-border element, including aspects such as jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforceability of judgments and coordination of group of companies’ insolvencies. For any party instituting an insolvency proceeding in an EU Member State, the commentary provides such detailed guidance as the following: <ul> <li>identifying the appropriate internationally competent court for filing;</li> <li>terms pursuant to which a judgment can be recognised;</li> <li>duties of an insolvency practitioner (IP);</li> <li>IP’s authority in the territory of another state;</li> <li>IP’s obligations towards creditors in another state;</li> <li>rights of foreign creditors;</li> <li>admissibility of conducting secondary insolvency proceedings;</li> <li>conducting simultaneous insolvency proceedings against the same debtor;</li> <li>permissible forms of contact and cooperation between judges and parties to the proceedings; and</li> <li>conducting proceedings involving a group of companies.</li> </ul> An important feature of the commentary highlights the standpoints of lawyers from Central and Eastern Europe, where the commercial judiciary operates in a distinctly different way from that in countries with a well-established market economy system. Interpretation of provisions of the Regulation by lawyers from this part of Europe enhances the scope of legal argument both in the economic sphere and in the sphere of justice. With its detailed and in-depth description of international jurisdiction, recognition, and universal and territorial effects of insolvency proceedings, this practical book will be welcomed by counsel to business persons conducting international activity, trustees in bankruptcy, tax advisers, court enforcement officers, academics dealing with insolvency law, banks dealing with the collection of receivables, and debt collection companies. In addition, as a contribution to the debate on the optimal model for the international consequences of insolvency proceedings, its discussion of issues related to national jurisdiction, bankruptcy and restructuring of groups of companies, and international judicial cooperation will be particularly valuable for researchers.

Towards A Sustainable European Company Law - A Normative Analysis Of The Objectives Of Eu Law, With The Takeover Directive As A Test Case

by Beate SjåFjell

233,20€ + 10% CARD

 No one doubts any longer that sustainable development is a normative imperative. Yet there is unmistakably a great reluctance to acknowledge any legal basis upon which companies are obliged to forgo ‘shareholder value’ when such a policy clearly dilutes responsibility for company action in the face of continuing environmental degradation.Here is a book that boldly says: ‘Shareholder primacy’ is wrong. Such a narrow, short-term focus, the author shows, works against the achievement of the overarching societal goals of European law itself. The core role of EU company and securities law is to promote economic development, notably through the facilitation of market integration, while its contributory role is to further sustainable development through facilitation of the integration of economic and social development and environmental protection. There is a clear legal basis in European law to overturn the poorly substantiated theory of a ‘market for corporate control’ as a theoretical and ideological basis when enacting company law.With rigorous and persuasive research and analysis, this book demonstrates that:<ul><li>European companies should have legal obligations beyond the maximization of profit for shareholders;</li><li>human and environmental interests may and should be engaged with in the realm of company law; and</li><li>company law has a crucial role in furthering sustainable development.</li></ul>As a test case, the author offers an in-depth analysis of the Takeover Directive, showing that it neither promotes economic development nor furthers the integration of the economic, social and environmental interests that the principle of sustainable development requires.This book goes to the very core of the ongoing debate on the function and future of European company law. Surprisingly, it does not make an argument in favour of changing EU law, but shows that we can take a great leap forward from where we are. For this powerful insight - and the innumerable recognitions that support it - this book is a timely and exciting new resource for lawyers and academics in ‘both camps’: those on the activist side of the issue, and those with company or official policymaking responsibilities.

European Company Law In Accelerated Progress

210,68€ + 10% CARD

 It is commonplace to speak of ''Europe as a major player in the global marketplace. In reality, however, persistent conflicts among the company and securities law regimes of the various Member States continue to hamper the full emergence of the EU as an economic power on a par with the US and China. Progress is under way, however, as this book amply testifies. In the wake of the Financial Services Action Plan (1999) and the Company Law and Corporate Governance Action Plan (2003), a series of EU regulations and ECJ cases has significantly eroded the national barriers to cross-border legal entities within the Union.The authors of these nine essays leading academics from Denmark, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway and the UK acknowledge and analyze this progress. Most demonstrate why they think further regulatory harmonization is essential, although some warn of potential dangers and pitfalls along the way. All in all, European Company Law in Accelerated Progress is a powerfully thought-provoking contribution to an important debate. Among the issues that arise are the following:<ul><li class=''copymedium''>shareholders rights;</li><li class=''copymedium''>cross-border voting;</li><li class=''copymedium''>corporate governance;</li><li class=''copymedium''>disclosure; corporate restructuring;</li><li class=''copymedium''>conflicts of interest;</li><li class=''copymedium''>equity capital provision; and</li><li class=''copymedium''>shareholders versus stakeholders.</li></ul>As an penetrating evaluation of the EUs capability to improve its corporate regulatory infrastructure and thereby attract more investors and business activities within its territory as a whole, this book offers securely grounded and valuable insights to all those interested in the field, from economic policymakers at every level of government to business persons and their counsel.Most of the essays here presented were originally delivered as papers at a conference organized by the Centre for European Company Law in Leiden, The Netherlands, in September 2005. The lectures are here offered in an updated and more elaborate form.
