Corporate Acquisitions and Mergers in France:A Practical Guide to the Legal, Financial, and Administrative Implications (European Business Law and Practice Series)

The second half of the eighties was a period of fast and significant development of the French business and financial scene. During this period France has had to introduce, adapt and regulate new types of transactions and practices created in other more innovatory financial centres around the world. In assessing and explaining such wide-ranging changes on the French business and financial scene this book comes as a long awaited and useful introduction to businessmen and lawyers who need an understanding of corporate acquisitions and mergers in France. A general overview of the corporate environment is dealt with in Chapter II, while Chapter III briefly addresses the prior administrative and other consents which must be obtained in relation to merger and acquisition transactions in France. Merger and acquisition techniques together with the taxation considerations related thereto are reviewed in Chapter IV and V respectively. Chapter VI finally addresses issues related to labour law in the context of mergers and acquisitions.Charles-Henri Pardieu is the author of 'Corporate Acquisitions and Mergers in France:A Practical Guide to the Legal, Financial, and Administrative Implications (European Business Law and Practice Series)', published 1994 under ISBN 9781853339653 and ISBN 1853339652.
