Purchase This BookCovers tax, accounting, environmental, products liability, pension, antitrust, national security, bankruptcy, and labor law. Builds on the basic four-credit corporations class, a modern corporate planning course. Integrates traditionally distinct classroom subjects in the context of discrete transactions. The materials are easy to edit. Each topical unit contains statutes, regulations, and case law that affect the structure and timing of acquisitions and reorganizations. Includes questions and problems to aid students in walking through the law's basic distinctions. Textual notes and edited articles identify and question the empirical and political assumptions implicit in the standards.

  • Covers combinative transactions and single-firm reorganizations
  • Defines fiduciary duties and registration and disclosure requirements
  • Describes employee contracts, collective bargaining agreements, and pension plans
  • Discusses stock acquisitions and the Williams Ace and state anti-takeover statutes
  • Examines effects of acquisition on bondholders and patent licensors and lessors
  • Explores protecting consumer and national security interests
  • Introduces problems of externalities and opportunistic behavior
  • Looks at shareholder voting
