This official ICSA study text has been specially designed to support the ICSA CSQS module in Corporate Law. The text gives an understanding of the scope of company law, how it is linked to other specialist legal subjects, the sources of company law and the key legal principles. The book explores the legal structures of different types of business organisations and covers the areas which feature most commonly on undergraduate law programmes, including the corporate personality doctrine, shareholders, shares and capital, directors' duties, minority shareholder protection and transparency. The text provides an excellent guide for students, but is also a handy reference for anyone who works with corporate law, or would like to learn more about the subject.
