International Handbook on Shareholders´ Agreements

Shareholders Agreements have a growing influence on the general understanding of corporate law since they bind not only the shareholders but also affect the constitution of the corporation and can have a severe impact on capital markets. Therefore, Shareholders Agreements are more and more subject to regulation in corporate, capital market and also insolvency law on the national, the European and the international level. This handbook provides a general examination of conceptual questions of Shareholders Agreements and provides an analysis of the regulation of Shareholders Agreements in European and international law and of the national law of more than 20 jurisdictions. Readers will get a general understanding of the theoretical and practical problems involved with Shareholders Agreements and detailed information on the regulation of Shareholders Agreements in several jurisdictions and the applicable law in the case of transnational corporations and cross-border transactions.
