Features

Since 1873, Gore-Browne on Companies has kept solicitors and barristers at the cutting edge of company law and practice. As the Companies Act 2006 changes the legal landscape, this reliability matters more than ever.

From constitution through to liquidation, it provides the definitive answer to questions about share capital, taxation, takeovers and mergers. Combine this with the handy legislation tracker and the fully consolidated legislation service on the accompanying CD-ROM, and you have the most formidable resource available.
