Details

Shareholders throughout the world are becoming more assertive in pursuing their rights against companies and directors. The law is developing in all jurisdictions to make it easier for shareholders to assert their rights by bringing claims in front of the court. Recent cases have seen a growth in both institutional shareholders such as pension funds and groups of individual shareholders taking action.

Shareholder Claims provides practical guidance on bringing claims including derivative claims under the UK Companies Act 2006, and claims under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, equivalent procedure in European centres and class action procedure in USA, Canada and Australia.

Written for both shareholders taking action and companies defending themselves.
