Now in its second edition, this popular, fully-updated title explains the law on shareholders' agreements in a clear and comprehensible style. It guides the reader through a typical transaction, highlighting the commercial issues facing the client and ultimately the solicitor as draftsman. The book examines how a shareholders' agreement can be unravelled in the event of insolvency or other reason for termination. The CD-ROM includes all the precedents, which have been developed and updated by David Baylis of Norton Rose. The book has been updated to reflect changes in insolvency practice and to the law post-Enterprise Act 2002, and also highlights the reforms to be made by the Companies Act 2006. It is therefore the most up to date book available on the subject.
