Book Launch: “Board-shareholder dialogue: Policy Debate, Legal Constraints and Best Practices”
10 October – Oxford, Harris Manchester College
This book provides corporate law scholars and students and practitioners at law firms, advisory services firms and asset managers with a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the financial, managerial, policy and legal issues arising from a key feature of today's corporate governance environment, namely, the dialogue between shareholders and corporate boards. Bringing together top corporate law and corporate governance scholars from the world's leading academic institutions, the collection is characterized by a multi-dimensional approach that takes into account the particularities of some national legal systems and combines theoretical analysis with practical insights into various aspects of board-shareholder dialogue.
