This new edition of International Acquisition Finance builds on the
success of the first edition in providing a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the
law and practice of acquisition finance from the viewpoint of leading lawyers in over 20
different jurisdictions including the UK, China, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the
USA. New jurisdictions for this edition include Hong Kong, India and Poland.
The work contains an overview of the relevant issues to provide the reader with an
understanding of structuring cross-border acquisition finance transactions and solutions
to relevant legal problems. Each chapter deals with the stages of the proposed transaction
and its financing and the related issues which need to be considered in the different
jurisdictions.
This fully updated new edition reflects recent changes to the law in all jurisdictions,
including the implementation in England of the Companies Act 2006 whose effects include
the abolition of the prohibition of financial assistance for private companies and changes
to the way in which charges are registered.
Also included is new coverage of acquisitions from insolvency practitioners, regulation
affecting financial institution investment practices and other changes brought about by
the current economic conditions, as well as a new chapter on public company acquisitions
written by Stephen Powell of Slaughter & May. In addition relevant legal and practical
considerations involved in public company acquisitions are considered in each
jurisdictional chapter.
Gwendoline Griffiths heads the Banking and Finance Group at DMH Stallard and
specializes in debt finance including acquisition finance, asset based lending, property
finance, trade finance and syndications.
