Compare Shareholder Activism by Catherine Roberts, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This timely and topical book is the first to provide a detailed and practical guide to corporate governance in the context of the activist shareholder. The book considers the issues which arise when shareholders seek to exercise their rights to influence the management of a company, andexamines how the board of directors must react in these situations. The book examines this increasingly significant aspect of company law by looking at such issues as the statutory rights of shareholders to remove auditors of a company, successful takeover bids, the division of powers between the board of directors of a company and the shareholders, and access tocompany documentation such as accounts. In doing so, it provides a practical guide to the rights, powers, and options available to shareholders, as well as exploring the legitimate responses open to a company. As shareholder activism is an increasingly global phenomenon, reference is made torelevant decisions from other jurisdictions including Australia, Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, Mauritius, New Zealand and Singapore. | Shareholder Activism by Catherine Roberts, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
