Reviews from the previous edition

"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"
International Company and Commercial Law Review

"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"
John Tribe, KPMG Lecturer in Restructuring, Kingston Law School

“A must-have for those engaged with directors duties … the diversity of expert opinions adds to the quality of the book … also of no lesser value to corporate law practitioners; from in-house to ex-house lawyers and corporate and practising accountants”
