This book is a multipurpose text that can be used in any class with
a focus on comparative legal systems for corporations, taught in
the U.S. or abroad. It contains cases, statutes, analysis and
readings, the majority of which are from foreign jurisdictions. It
also has extensive notes and questions. The focus is primarily on
the U.S., U.K., major European continental civil law systems
(France, Germany, Italy) and European Union law, and Japan; with
references to other jurisdictions such as China, India and Brazil.
In addition to law schools, the book may also appeal to non-law
school professors of business administration, economics, and
political science. In setting out to produce a casebook to meet the
needs of students in different legal systems and on both
introductory and advanced courses, make a contribution to scholarly
debates and address practical and policy concerns, the authors set
themselves ambitious goals, which they have amply achieved. This
methodologically rigorous, insightful and stimulating book is rich
in technical content but details are never allowed to obscure the
main questions. The distinguished authors wear their scholarship
lightly and the book is written in an admirably clear and
accessible style. This book is a major addition to the growing
literature on comparative corporate law and it is destined to shape
the way we think about and teach the subject. Eilis Ferran,
Professor of Company and Securities Law, Faculty of Law, University
of Cambridge Corporate law rules vary considerably around the
world, and there is much that students of corporate law can learn
from a comparative analysis of how different systems deal with
similar problems. This casebook, co-authored by a group of experts
with a rich set of perspectives, is thus a valuable and welcome
addition to the literature. Lucian A. Bebchuk, Professor of Law,
Economics and Finance, Director, Program on Corporate Governance,
Harvard Law School This excellent book is a welcome addition to the
still relatively sparse comparative corporate law literature. It is
a wonderful teaching resource and a useful reference for the
scholar. Tan Cheng Han, Professor of Law and Chairman, Centre for
Law & Business, Faculty of Law, National University of
Singapore [Comparative Corporate Law by Ventoruzzo and others] is
both comprehensive and readily understandable. I think it will be a
significant addition to both the literature and teaching material
on comparative corporate governance. Martin Lipton, Founding
Partner, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz In-house counsels of
firms operating internationally will find the book a practical and
useful tool. Your own corporate issues aren't so unique after all,
learning how others have approached theirs, across the world, is
both instructive and refreshing, a must read! Antonino Cusimano,
General Counsel and Secretary to the Board of Directors, Telecom
Italia The materials collected and translated in English are
precious and fascinating for a broad and international audience.
The richness of the book is not, however, only in the materials
carefully selected and sewn together, but also in the stitches that
fasten them: The introductions, notes and questions, economic
insights and empirical data that connect the materials allow
readers to consider the causes and consequences of different legal
rules in different systems, and compare different regulatory
strategies. Viviane Muller Prado, Professor of Corporate Law,
Escloa de Direito, Fundacao Getulio Vargas, Sao Paulo, Brazil This
book proves not only that corporate law is global, but also that a
global approach is essential in order to understand the laws of
different countries and how they interact. The book, innovative in
both methodology and contents, will be indispensable for anyone who
studies and practices corporate law. Guido Rossi, Professor of Law
Emeritus, Bocconi University and Former Chairman of the Italian
Stock Exchange Commission
