Companies and other Business Structures in South Africa, fourth edition, offers a clear and practical introduction to the law relating to companies, close corporations, business trusts, partnerships and financial markets.

The fourth edition is comprehensively revised and updated to address the extensive development of common law jurisprudence that has emerged in the recent period. In particular, the text succinctly analyses the complex body of case law developments within the spheres of corporate governance, insider trading and business rescue, and provides a chapter that addresses the winding up and deregistration of companies.

The text explains the law relating to corporate finance with an interdisciplinary (legal, accounting and management accounting) approach, and situates discussion of the recently promulgated Financial Markets Act 19 of 2012 within the context of insider trading and financial markets.

This book is aimed at all involved in the study and practice of labour law, including non-law students and practitioners.

A Practical Guide to Labour Law is aimed at and can fruitfully be used by all involved in the study and practice of Labour Law.

Contemporary Company Law has quickly established itself as a leading resource on South African company law for legal practitioners, company law specialists and academics. It has been increasingly relied on and referred to with approval by the High Courts, the Supreme Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court.

Contemporary Company Law is a comprehensive and advanced company law text. It is much more than a mere narrative of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 or of the decisions of the courts. Its approach is to expound, explain, or clarify the legal principles and statutory provisions. In writing this third edition, apart from updating the text to incorporate the extensive development of many of the provisions of the Companies Act and the leading cases on the subject, the rapid globalisation of company law has also been taken into account. This edition contains updated discussions on those foreign jurisdictions that have exerted a strong influence on moulding the Companies Act of 2008, such as US, English, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand law.

The increased complexity of company law makes Contemporary Company Law even more useful for busy legal practitioners and judges seeking a ready and reliable insight into a particular aspect of company law.

From 1 May 2011 company law in South Africa was dramatically altered: the 1973 Act which had governed companies for the life-times of most business people and lawyers in South Africa was replaced by the Companies Act of 2008, as amended in March 2011.

A new era of company law dawned, and with it a host of new concepts, rights, remedies, obligations, procedures and sanctions were introduced. These fundamentally affect the way that every business operates and the advice and practice of every lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser.

This title, the first to cover the new Act and the new regulations, provides the hand-holding, the insight, and the understanding that business and their advisers require in order not to be wrong-footed by the new regime.

Due Diligence and Corporate Governance is a general guide to a subject of growing importance. This handbook shows you how due diligence is used to assess the risk of any transaction, customer or investor for all businesses regardless of size or location.
There are three main reasons for the rise in the profile and uses of due diligence:

With its diverse coverage and focus on the practical uses of due diligence, combined with explanations and illustrations of best practice by case studies, diagrams and checklists, this handbook is the essential guide for all those involved in corporate transactions and risk management. The handbook:
-Provides a broad introductory guide to due diligence
-Examines due diligence in the context of risk management and corporate governance
-Is straightforward, comprehensive and practical
-Uses case studies to illustrate business users

Strategies and Techniques for Passing the Zambian Bar Exam: Company Law and Procedure is part of a series which serves as a practical guide for candidate attorneys preparing for their bar examinations. The focus is on Company Law and Procedure. The book draws on the author's experience as a 'facilitator and coach' to students taking the Legal Practitioners Qualifying Examination (LPQE) at the Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal Education (ZIALE) and practitioners in a corporate law firm. Strategies and Techniques for Passing the Zambian Bar Exam: Company Law and Procedure evaluates the Company Law and Procedure course, focuses on important aspects of the new Companies Act 10 of 2017 and the Corporate Insolvency Act 9 of 2017, which came into operation in 2018, and provides various techniques for answering questions and preparing for the examinations. This book will fill a critical gap in an important course which is notorious not only for its relative technicality and the dearth of study and reference material tailored for the bar exam, but also for its low pass rate. Although specifically targeted at the LPQE, the techniques provided by the author are of general application and instructive for all law students.
