Invaluable commentary on the implementation and purpose of European Directives

Since 1873 Gore-Browne on Companies has kept its readers informed about UK Company Law. Now, let Gore-Browne on EU Company Law inform you about what EU Company Legislation has been implemented, what is coming, and what is still being debated.

Gore-Browne on EU Company Law offers invaluable commentary on the implementation and purpose of European Directives. It includes essential coverage on:

Joint Ventures and how they are increasingly being used as the corporate vehicle of choice by two or more Member States
Expanded coverage of European Tax Law, including detailed analysis of the key European Court rulings on Member States' direct taxes
Comprehensive analysis of the adoption of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency and its implications for the EU
Detailed examination of the impact of the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings 2000 on corporate rescue across the UK and other Member States
Corporate social responsibility
Companies and the conflicts of law

EU Directives governing the regulation of companies have had profound effects on how businesses operate throughout Europe. In the UK, for example, the European Company (SE), money laundering legislation and developments in cross-border insolvency have all resulted from EU initiatives.

Setting up, running and dissolving a business is never easy wherever the jurisdiction, but for EU Member States, it is complicated by the effects of EU Directives on their own law and practice. These Directives are designed to harmonise what are often complicated rules concerning company structure and accounts as well as the issues of securities, tax and insolvency.

Gore-Browne on EU Company Law explains the impact of these Directives on company law, taxation, accounting and insolvency. It examines and monitors the implementation provisions in the UK and looks forward to forthcoming developments.

In one loose-leaf volume it contains the fully amended text of all the European Directives together with invaluable commentary on the implementation and purpose of each Directive.

Gore-Browne on EU Company Law offers a uniquely wide-ranging and authoritative approach making it the definitive reference on this increasingly important subject. It contains:

invaluable commentary on the implementation and purpose of each Directive
analysis on how implemented legislation has been working in practice
practical explanations of how other EU legislation on issues such as merger regulation can also influence member state company law
the fully amended text of the key EU Directives
text of other EU Regulations and EU Guidance materials

An invaluable guide for solicitors, barristers and accountants, and anybody working in or researching corporate law.
