Each chapter deals with the stages of the proposed transaction and its financing and the related issues which need to be considered in the different jurisdictions.

This fully updated new edition reflects recent changes to the law in all jurisdictions, including the implementation in England of the Companies Act 2006 whose effects include the abolition of the prohibition of financial assistance for private companies and changes to the way in which charges are registered.

Also included is new coverage of acquisitions from insolvency practitioners, regulation affecting financial institution investment practices and other changes brought about by the current economic conditions, as well as a new chapter on public company acquisitions written by Stephen Powell of Slaughter & May. In addition relevant legal and practical considerations involved in public company acquisitions are considered in each jurisdictional chapter.

Readership: Solicitors and barristers practising in corporate finance and banking law, in-house counsel at financial institutions, and academics.
