Company Law 3e provides an in-depth, sophisticated but readable account of the major topics commonly studied in Company Law courses. Hannigan captures the dynamism of the subject, highlights its relevance and topicality and, above all, helps students master its intricacies.

The third edition of Company Law brings clarity and sophisticated analysis to a company law landscape much altered by the groundbreaking Companies Act 2006. Hannigan captures the dynamism of company law, places the material in context and guides students through all the major topics studied at undergraduate level. The book is divided into five distinct sections covering corporate structure (including legal personality and constitutional issues), corporate governance (including directors' duties and liabilities), shareholders' rights and remedies (including powers of decision-making and shareholder engagement), corporate finance (including share and loan capital), and corporate rescue and restructuring (including liabilities arising on insolvency). The author's accessible writing style and comprehensive approach to the subject makes this an idea textbook for students of company law.

Brenda Hannigan is Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Southampton. Her principal research interests lie in company and insolvency law, particularly in the areas of directors' duties and shareholder remedies, corporate governance, board roles and responsibilities and shareholder engagement.
