    "every director should be required to read this publication irrespective of the size of the company ... [we] can thoroughly recommend this as a very practical book"

    "well-structured ... an excellent source to gain a first impression of directors' duties but also to deepen one's knowledge"
    German-British Chamber of Industry & Commerce

    "A dedicated and comprehensive guide to navigating this minefield of uncertainty for directors and their legal advisors ... a valuable addition to the literature on the subject and should be a staple of any company law collection"
