Details

A Practitioner's Guide to the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers 2013/2014 is the definitive, annual guide to the work of the City of London's takeover watchdog. The well-established book describes the role and purpose of the Panel, then examines and gives guidance on all the rules, explaining the responsibilities and actions of each party throughout the transaction.

Now in its 25th edition, the Guide is fully revised and updated to take into account changes to the Code and their implications for you, the practitioner.

The book is introduced by the Director General of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, and the chapters are authored by some of the City's foremost practitioners - bringing you the information from those directly involved.

Fully revised and updated each year to take into account any changes in the Code and their implications, A Practitioner's Guide to the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers this year covers the widening of categories of company regulations following the partial removal of the residency test, and the advent of the UK's new financial services infrastructure.
