Overview

"The ""Legal Practice Course Guides"" have been revised, expanded and updated to take account of the many changes in legislation and course structure that have happened in the last year. Each guide explains the relevant substantive and procedural law and, where appropriate, contains sample precedents, documents and checklists. The books provide a guide to the law, notes, exercises and case studies produced by each institution and the ""raw material"" found in the practitioner texts. This guide has been written specifically for students of the Corporate Finance or Public Company Financing option of the Legal Practice Course, but it should also be useful to any students of corporate finance and those working in the corporate finance markets in the City. It is a practical guide to the transactions which form the core of this subject, particularly share issues, corporate reconstructions, mergers and acquisitions. As well as tax questions, the book covers all relevant law and regulations affecting these transactions, including the Financial Services Act, the Stock Exchange Yellow Book and the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. This new edition covers developments in the last 12 months, including the implementation of CREST and its effect on corporate finance transactions."
