Features

Company Precedents (formerly known as Company Procedures Precedents) has been revised and enhanced in light of the new Companies Act 2006. It provides a system for undertaking key corporate transactions, and covers the wide-ranging registration requirements of company legislation.

Company Precedents has been written for the practitioner. It serves as a useful tool in everyday practice and helps ensure compliance with legislation. The checklists, system guides to procedures and hundreds of precedents make up the heart of this work, which comes with an electronic CD-ROM version.
