An exciting new textbook which presents critical perspectives on corporate and commercial law. Focussing on the key areas of trade and transactions, intellectual property, corporations and finance, it covers each of the areas of commercial and company law that would typically be offered to undergraduate and postgraduate law students.
The chapters are written by acknowledged experts in the field and are aimed at undergraduates, post graduates and lecturers who wish to further their understanding of this area. Each of the authors focuses on an area within their subject and draws out the political, the controversial and the discursive, providing essential reading for undergraduate dissertation topics and postgraduate analysis.
Unique approach - there is an absence of critical texts on commercial law There are no texts that provide the scope and critical approach provided by this text Includes contributions from key academics Broad appeal - provides an introduction to many areas of commercial and corporate law Complements core textbooks on corporate and commercial law
