There is a great demand for practical information on the corporate laws of foreign countries as more and more companies establish foreign branches or subsidiaries, or acquire an interest in another company situated abroad by way of joint ventures or mergers. Such cross-border operations are not restricted to big multinational companies; an increasing number of small private or family-owned companies seek to expand their business and establish foreign-based contacts.This book is designed to provide tax consultants, shareholders, company executives, financial advisors and members of the accounting and legal professions with the basic information that is required to gain an understanding of foreign-based corporations.Table of contents:Preface.
