Details

Thirteen national jurisdictions are covered in depth in this book. There are also general chapters on the global impact of merger legislation in the European Union and the United States, tax regimes, and private international law.

Among the salient factors discussed in context as they arise are the following:

• a company’s debt-to-equity ratio

• the role of hedge funds

• the role of private equity firms

• currency mismatches

The authors—each an expert in his or her own country’s insolvency law regime—provide precise information on the eligibility requirements, restrictions, and other provisions of the laws they discuss. They also analyze the important relevant cases in their jurisdictions.

Jurisdictions covered: Argentina. Australia. Brazil. Canada. England and Wales. France. Hong Kong. India. Italy. Japan. Poland. Turkey. USA.
