Beskrivning

This detailed book examines how the law can provide a discrete governance regime for financially distressed firms.The concept of a distressed firm covers businesses that are struggling, but have not yet entered formal insolvency, as well as those businesses that are undergoing a formal insolvency process. With reference primarily to English law, this study encompasses both limited liability companies and limited liability partnerships with a focus on the regulation both of company directors and insolvency practitioners. It offers recommendations for improvements in governance mechanisms and notes that many of the governance shortfalls that occur can be related to the ease of access given to those who wish to trade with the benefit of limited liability.Providing an up to date analysis in a fast evolving area of law, this book will appeal to academics, postgraduate students, practitioners and policy makers.

Recensioner i media

‘The corporate governance of companies in financial difficulty is an issue of great importance for the satisfaction in insovlency of the conflicting interests of the various stakeholders. It also raises significant public interest concerns. With analytical skill commensurate with his reputation as a leading corporate law scholar, David Milman has provided a masterly study of this very complex topic that often seems shrouded in mystery to all those outside a narrow circle of insolvency experts. Milman’s book is comprehensive, sheds light in many complex and challenging aspects of distressed company governance, and provides a set of insightful proposals for reform of requisite UK law and practice. Clarity of analysis coupled with originality of approach means that this book will be a major addition to corporate law scholarship.’
