Course Description
This course aims to convey to students a good knowledge and understanding of the key corporate finance and management issues in company law. The course will provide you with the skills needed to analyze the theory and statutory structure of the key corporate finance and management issues in company law and allow you to apply those skills in practice through critical assessment of literature and the jurisprudence of the United Kingdom courts. During the course we will examine share capital, class rights and certain key legal issues surrounding the funding of the company. You will gain awareness of the methods by which companies raise capital and the regulatory effects of capital raising. We will also cover the central legal issues surrounding the separation of ownership from control and an overview of the liquidation process.
