"every director should be required to read this publication irrespective of the size of the company ... [we] can thoroughly recommend this as a very practical book"
International Company and Commercial Law Review
"well-structured ... an excellent source to gain a first impression of directors' duties but also to deepen one's knowledge"
German-British Chamber of Industry & Commerce
"A dedicated and comprehensive guide to navigating this minefield of uncertainty for directors and their legal advisors ... a valuable addition to the literature on the subject and should be a staple of any company law collection"
