In this new edition, stemming from the work of the International Bar Association Committee on Business Organizations, leading international practitioners address the increasingly complex issues surrounding due diligence, disclosures and protection of the buyer and seller in corporate acquisitions practice.

The book also addresses the structure of acquisition agreements, including warranties and the effect of different controlling laws. Environmental due diligence is also included in considering current international commercial practice.

Based on a major IBA conference held in June 1991, the work (in this updated and revised form) covers the USA, Canada, Germany, England and Wales, the Netherlands, Italy, France, and Japan. As in the previous edition, the material is presented systematically for ease of reference and comparison. The book aims to serve as a valuable handbook for practitioners.
