Reviews

Reviews for Boyle & Birds' Company Law 7th Edition

"well-researched, well-written and up-to-date account of contemporary domestic company law"
International Company and Commercial Law Review

"will take some beating as a reliable guide to the subject"
Accountancy

"superbly written combining authoritative text and excellent references ... excellent value for money and rightfully remains one of the leading company law texts"
Student Law Journal

"All too often, company law texts can degenerate into dense and overly technical accounts. It is therefore extremely refreshing that such a comprehensive text is alsowonderfully clear and fluid. The authors are to be commended on the clarity of the writing, and this book goes a long way towards making the topic more accessible ... Highly recommended. This is now the leading text for exposition of the law and itdeserves a place on any reading list"
