Butterworths Hong Kong Company Law Handbook, 14th Edition

The authoritative and most informed handbook available on Hong Kong company law for professionals.

Butterworths Hong Kong Company Law Handbook (14th Edition) is the leading text and essential reference on the Companies Ordinance (Cap 32). Including all of the information likely to be required on the Companies Ordinance, it is at once comprehensive, inclusive, concise and succinct.

Since the last edition of this text, the Companies Ordinance has been amended with changes made to section 178 and Schedule 8. These amendments are incorporated into the new edition. Annotations have also been updated to include all relevant case law from 2011 and 2012.

The Handbook series has been cited with authority in many cases in the Hong Kong superior courts. This volume is recommended for lawyers, in-house counsel, company secretaries, company directors, auditors, accountants, regulators, academics, students and all those who are engaged or interested in the dynamic subject of company law in Hong Kong.
