This title provides a clear, first port of call for practitioners who need to know the incorporation rules and types of companies in countries across the EU. It gives the reader a basic outline of corporate structures in Europe, providing a good starting point from which to seek specialist advice. The work provides practical, comparative commentary on the national company laws of the 27 EU countries, three EEA countries and Turkey, and a separate chapter on the impact of the new European Company. It includes the major reforms in company law within all the European jurisdictions, and the European Commission's extensive action plan for this practice area. Each chapter follows a similar structure, allowing easy comparison between national systems. There is a review of the principal types of business organization in each country, an examination of the requirements of incorporation, the role of subsidiaries and branches, and, where appropriate, legal costs.
