This book provides a concise and practical guide to Swiss takeover and shareholder disclosure law and the extensive practice of the Swiss regulators. It is addressed to lawyers in private practice and to in-house counsel, as well as to other practitioners in public M&A (board members, members of management, investment bankers, auditors, etc.). In addition, the book will prove a valuable text for law and business students interested in public takeovers. (Series: Swiss Law in a Nutshell)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Takeovers are an exceptional event in the life of a corporation, fundamentally altering both control and strategy. But the prospect of becoming the target of a bid, even when remote, influences daily corporate decision-making. Takeover rules are therefore central to company law and the balance of power among managers, shareholders and stakeholders alike. To what extent is it possible to balance an active market for corporate control with long-term, firm-specific investments? This book is an abridged version of a comprehensive study carried out by the law firm Marccus Partners and the Centre for European Policy Studies for the European Commission and supplemented by additional policy recommendations. The study analyses the corporate governance considerations driving takeover regulation. It also assesses the implementation of the EU Directive on takeover bids and compares it with the legal framework of nine other major jurisdictions, including the United States. The authors find that similar rules have different effects, depending on company-level and country-level characteristics, and examine the use of modular legislation and optional provisions to cater for these differences. Offering the reader a unique and thorough legal review, this book draws on the work of a global network of law firms and an in-depth economic study, including a survey of the relevant academic literature and an empirical analysis based on a comprehensive dataset on takeovers in Europe dating back to the early 2000s. An analysis of the impact of takeover rules on competitiveness and employment is also provided. Book jacket.

Download or read book Swiss Company Law written by Switzerland and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1996-09-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition follows the success of its predecessor, which was well received and respected by practitioners, academics and business people of Swiss and non-Swiss origin. It covers the changes in the company law provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations originally adopted in 1881. The authors have reviewed and updated the entire book, including the relevant general provisions of the civil code and incorporating the 1985 revisions to the law regarding Stiftungen (foundations). A departure from the first edition is the overall emphasis on American (U.S.) legal terminology, although in a few instances reference to English (U.K.) parlance is maintained for comparative purposes. The revision of the Aktienrecht (Share Law), which represents the portions of the Code relating to the most common Swiss corporate organizational form, the Aktiengesellschaft (commonly abbreviated as AG or SA), became effective in 1992. It is primarily this event that prompted the revision of this book. The relevant sections of the Code (Arts. 620 to 763) have been fully re-translated, incorporating the revisions, together with selected relevant new provisions from other related laws. The revised translation of the statutory provisions is accompanied by an in-depth translation addressing current issues, including, besides the substance of the revision of the code, comparative aspects of both the laws of the European Union and the United States, including accounting rules. Also revised are the charts and tables, including the `synoptic tables' which have proved to be of particular value to practitioners.

Book excerpt: A timely guide to the complex financial markets and banking secrecy of Switzerland Since 1934, when Switzerland's federal bank secrecy law was passed, the line between myth and reality with regard to Swiss banking has been blurred. But over the past decade, there have been dramatic changes in the pressures brought to bear on all facets of the Swiss financial markets and banking sector. Recent developments and agreements have potentially weakened Swiss banking secrecy, and with that said, it is time for a book that lays out the history of Swiss bank secrecy and puts these twenty-first century changes in perspective.

It covers key topics to practitioners both abroad and in the United States involved in Swiss banking and the Swiss financial markets. Discusses what the Euro-debt crisis may mean for the role of Switzerland as a financial powerhouse Reveals how new secrecy agreements with the United States and Germany will impact private wealth management Addresses Asian competition for wealth management and tax havens Switzerland is one of the largest financial markets in the world and a global power in private wealth administration. Whether you're a private wealth advisor, Swiss or U.S. banker, or other finance practitioner involved in the Swiss market, this guide is essential reading if you intend on achieving future success in this arena.

Download or read book Takeover Laws and Financial Development written by Tatiana Nenova and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of "an appropriate" legal framework, especially in the case of the takeover market, has been poorly studied in the case of emerging markets, yet it is of immediate relevance and practical policymaker interest. The study makes a first attempt to analyze takeover regulations in a comparative context across 50 countries. It proposes a methodology to create a detailed index on the most salient features of capital market laws, and illustrates the approach on the case of takeover legislation. The methodology allows better understanding of the impact of laws on markets and development, allows a detailed quantification of a given regulation, in this case takeover market rules, and helps determine relevant policy implications. Specifically, the framework permits the exploration of the effects of individual regulations, their substitutability and interplay, as well as the overall extent of friendliness of the laws to investors, or particular groups thereof (such as minority shareholders), and the links of specialized regulation with the overall legal system. Finally, the study explores the effect of the investor-friendliness of takeover laws on stock market development.
