Details

This highly regarded and influential text is essential reading for company law students and practitioners, and is regularly cited with approval in Irish courts. The book provides guidance on every aspect of Irish company law from a company's formation to its winding up and examinership. It also examines the core areas of corporate personality, capital, borrowing, membership and administration.

The sixth edition retains the clear and navigable structure of previous editions and is updated to account for changes brought about by:

Brexit
Covid measures
Companies (Statutory Audits) Act 2018
Companies (Accounting) Act 2017
