Developed over 30 years’ of research and teaching company law the author takes an innovative approach to explaining and developing for students and practitioners topical concepts and doctrines that dominate company law issues in Ireland. Company Law in Ireland: Fundamental Concepts and Doctrines gives the reader a critical overview and in-depth analysis of existing company law principles and future trends. Each subject begins with a discussion of modern issues considered through the lens of precedent and statutory developments that have led us to the point at which the law is now developing. This innovative approach is presented as an alternative to the descriptive overview of company law which may be found in other textbooks or sources. Company Law in Ireland: Fundamental Concepts and Doctrines is an analytical and insightful resource where the reader will find substantial references to other works and materials (including Governance Codes and other relevant EU and government reform proposals), thus contributing to the enrichment of Irish scholarship and expertise, for both practical and academic purposes, rather than a work that simply provides a step-by-step reference guide as can be found in existing texts.
