Download or read book Corporate Boards in Law and Practice written by Paul Davies and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 867 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate boards play a central role in corporate governance and are thus regulated in the corporate law and corporate governance codes of all industrialized countries. Yet while there is a common core of rules on the boards considerable differences remain. These differences depend partly on shareholder structure, partly on historical, political and social developments and especially employee representation on the board. More recently, in particular with the rise of the international corporate governance code movement, there is a clear tendency towards convergence, at least in terms of the formal provisions of the codes. This book analyses the corporate boards, their regulation in law and codes and their actual functioning in ten European countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom). It offers the most up to date practical and analytical information on boards in Europe by leading company law experts. The issues addressed include: board structure, composition and functioning (one tier v. two tier, independent directors, expertise and diversity, separating the chair and the CEO functions, information streams, committees, voting and employee representation); enforcement by liability rules (in particular conflicts of interest), incentive structures (remuneration) and shareholder activism.
Download or read book Comparative Corporate Governance written by Andreas M. Fleckner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 1252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The business corporation is one of the greatest organizational inventions, but it creates risks both for shareholders and for third parties. To mitigate these risks, legislators, judges, and corporate lawyers have tried to learn from foreign experiences and adapt their regulatory regimes to them. In the last three decades, this approach has led to a stream of corporate and capital market law reforms unseen before. Corporate governance, the system by which companies are directed and controlled, is today a key topic for legislation, practice, and academia all over the world. Corporate scandals and financial crises have repeatedly highlighted the need to better understand the economic, social, political, and legal determinants of corporate governance in individual countries. Comparative Corporate Governance furthers this goal by bringing together current scholarship in law and economics with the expertise of local corporate governance specialists from twenty-three countries.

Download or read book Legal Capital in Europe written by Marcus Lutter and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 713 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe has known very different systems of company laws for a long time. These differences do not only pertain to the board structures of public companies, where single-tier and two-tier structures can be distinguished, they also pertain to the principles of fixed legal capital. Fixed legal capital is not a traditional ingredient of English and Irish company law and had to be incorpo-rated into these legal systems (only) for public limited companies according to the Second European Company Law Directive of 1976. Both jurisdictions have never really embraced these rules. Against this background, the British Accounting Standards Board (ASB) and the Company Law Centre at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) have initiated and supported a study of the benefits of this legal system by a group of experts led by Jonathan Rickford. The report of this group has been published in 2004. Its result was that legal capital was costly and superfluous; hence, the Second Directive should be repealed. The British government has adopted this view and wants the European Commission to act accordingly. Against this background a group of German and European company law experts, academics as well as practitioners, have come together to scrutinise sense and benefits of fixed legal capital and all its specific elements guided by the following questions: What is the relevant legal concept supposed to achieve? What does it achieve in reality? What criticisms are there? Which proposals or alternatives are available? From the outset the group of experts has endeavoured to cooperate with foreign colleagues, which resulted in very fruitful and pleasant exchanges. This volume contains, besides an executive summary of the results, 16 essays on specific aspects of legal capital in Germany covering also neighbouring fields of law (e.g. accounting, insolvency); 7 reports on fixed legal capital in other jurisdictions (France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the U.S.A.) addressing the same questions as the essays on German law. The British initiative disapproves of the Second Directive. The Directive does only deal with public limited companies in Europe, which is reflected in the analysis presented here. It is only concerned with the fixed legal capital of public limited companies, not with capital issues of private companies. The study has arrived at a result that differs completely from that of the Rickford group. It verifies the usefulness of the concept of fixed legal capital and wishes to convince the European Commission of the benefits of the Second Company Law Directive.

Download or read book Directors Officers D O Liability written by Simon Deakin and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 1072 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years several cases concerning the liability of directors and officers have courted controversy. Arguments raised in such discussions oscillate between two extremes: on the one hand, the need for governing bodies to give a space to entrepreneurial discretion and on the other hand to ensure the protection of investors in and creditors of a company from the consequences of disadvantageous decisions by those bodies. In light of the geographical dispersal of the above stakeholders, the study offers a comparative insight into the liability of directors and officers in 10 key European jurisdictions (in particular, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Switzerland) and 4 non-European jurisdictions (namely Brazil, Israel, Turkey and the United States). Amongst other things it investigates existing company law principles on the topic and examines their interaction with tort law and other fields with a view to suggesting principles for better stakeholder protection. National reports are complemented by an economic analysis and insurance, conflict of laws and comparative reports. The study also benefits from case study analyses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las crisis que conducen a los deudores a una situación de insolvencia pueden ser crisis financieras, que se fundan en la escasez de recursos financieros en el corto y mediplazo, o crisis económicas, que se originan en la propia naturaleza de la actividad empresarial y en la forma de ejercerla; o bien puede que en la génesis de la insolvencia del deudor coexistan tanto factores económicos como financieros En atención a la variedad de manifestaciones de la crisis, el ordenamiento jurídico regula diferentes mecanismos de actuación dirigidos a evitar y prevenir las insolvencias empresariales en la legislación societaria, así como determinados institutos encaminados a gestionar la insolvencia con el objeto de conjurar la necesidad de un procedimiento de concurso de acreedores.

Download or read book Diccionario comentado de t rminos financieros ingleses de uso frecuente en espa ol written by Miguel Castelo Montero and published by Netbiblo. This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La internacionalización del mundo financiero es una realidad, y la liberalización de los sistemas financieros han producido una mayor flexibilización de contratación en los mercados internacionales. Este diccionario ofrece un compendio explicativo de la extensa serie de términos de la lengua inglesa que se usan con frecuencia en español dentro del ámbito de la terminología de los mercados financieros. El autor ha tratado de aproximarse al tema desde una óptica real. Las voces y expresiones aquí registradas son conocidas y usadas regularmente por todos aquellos que, de una manera directa o indirecta, se mueven en el mundo económico y financiero. Resulta interesante el tratamiento lingüístico de la etimología más próxima que se da al término para conocer con mayor rigor y exactitud el por qué se usa y su vinculación con la jerga, ya que, recordemos, la terminología financiera está basada la mayoría de las veces, en el habla cotidiana. Esta obra puede ser útil para los filólogos, traductólogos, economistas y abogados ya que los foros de la filología moderna han incorporado a sus planteamientos tradicionales los estudios que se ocupan del uso de los idiomas en contextos especializados. En este diccionario se recogen ejemplos reales tomados de la prensa económica española actual, de las dos variedades más comunes del inglés, el británico y el americano, aunque más bien podríamos hablar de inglés internacional ya que la globalización de los mercados ha hecho que desaparezcan algunos rasgos diferenciales.

Download or read book Gesti n del patrimonio familiar written by Borja Durán and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Tienes claros los conceptos de patrimonio y de familia? ¿Estás preparado para diseñar un plan estratégico que preserve e, incluso, aumente el patrimonio al mismo tiempo que cimientas las bases de una estructura y que mantenga unida a tu familia durante las próximas generaciones? Si tus respuestas son no, entonces este es el libro que te sacará de dudas. La decisión de una estirpe de poner en común recursos y alinear objetivos vitales supone un reto que va más allá de la aplicación del recetario clásico de la gestión de inversiones. Se debe reflexionar sobre estos objetivos tanto a nivel individual como familiar, puesto que así se conseguirá alinear los recursos y la energía de la familia en una dirección acorde con las metas comunes. Además, la reflexión definirá de manera explícita un sistema de valores imprescindibles para la gestión del patrimonio familiar. Para ello, habrá que recurrir a la intrahistoria de cada grupo familiar: sus antecedentes, el origen de su patrimonio, el destino o misión del mismo, los intangibles reputacionales que hay que defender, la visión particular sobre la ética, etc. Esta dimensión subjetiva y particular es, precisamente, una de las características que distinguen la gestión de patrimonios familiares frente a otras actividades de gestión fiduciaria y hace que sea un proceso dinámico que tiene que evolucionar con cada generación para evitar la tendencia natural de la separación.
