Description

Closely Held Business Organizations Cases Materials and Problems 4th Edition ISBN 9798892097666

This casebook remains the most comprehensive resource on business organizations with a strong focus on closely held businesses. It offers complete, in-depth chapters on Corporations, as well as on the law of agency and various hybrid business forms, including Partnerships, Limited Partnerships, and Limited Liability Companies. Recognizing the needs of many instructors, the book also includes a chapter addressing issues more commonly associated with publicly held business organizations, which are often covered in foundational business organizations courses.

A major enhancement in the new edition is the updated approach to the chapters on Partnerships, Limited Partnerships, and Limited Liability Companies. These chapters are now organized around the most recent versions of the Uniform Law Commission’s (ULC) uniform statutes, developed as part of the ULC’s ongoing harmonization project. In addition, these chapters reflect recent case law developments to ensure students engage with current legal standards and interpretations.

The Corporations chapter incorporates significant updates as well. It covers recent changes to the Model Business Corporation Act, Delaware statutory and case law, and key developments from other jurisdictions. Topics include:

  • Delaware rules governing contracts between corporations and controlling shareholders that aim to preserve control after an IPO;
  • State law requirements concerning board diversity;
  • Evolving standards for director oversight duties;
  • Case law on compensation arrangements involving controlling shareholders;
  • New developments in Delaware law regarding the demand requirement in derivative litigation.

The chapter on publicly held corporations has also been revised to reflect recent case law and updates to federal securities regulations, ensuring comprehensive coverage of both state and federal dimensions of business law.
