Now in its sixth edition, this popular, fully-updated title explains the law on shareholders' agreements in a clear and comprehensible style. It guides the reader through issues to consider when drafting a shareholders' agreement, highlighting the commercial issues facing the client and ultimately the draftsmen. It examines how shareholders can enforce their rights should a dispute arise, and in the event of insolvency or other reason for termination. It contains a number of precedents likely to be of use to those drafting, or advising in relation to shareholders' agreements.
This edition reflects significant legal developments since the last publication. It analyses the impact of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, considers the continuing implications of Brexit, and examines recent competition law changes. It also discusses important new case law, including Re Compound Photonics Group Ltd on good faith clauses and interpretation, FamilyMart China Holding Co Ltd v Ting Chuan on arbitrability, and leading decisions on reflective loss and arbitration clauses in shareholders' disputes.
