Company Law in Practice

Published in conjunction with The City Law School, the Bar Manuals are written specifically for students on the Bar Professional Training Course by expert teams of practising barristers and current or former tutors. Each manual provides a practical guide to the law, practice, and procedure of the individual subject, and offers clear explanations of the relevant substantive and procedural law. Where appropriate, the manuals contain worked examples, sample documentation, and exercises. Company Law in Practice adopts a highly pragmatic approach to the subject, providing examples of typical letters, witness statements, opinions, and particulars of claim. Key topics covered include the constitution of companies, share and loan capital, directors' and shareholder meetings, the role and duties of directors, shareholder protection, insolvency, and compulsory winding up. An extensive worked example offers students and junior practitioners the opportunity to apply their knowledge and refine the legal skills required to be successful in practice.
