This volume contains an English translation of the Belgian Co-ordinated Acts on Commercial Companies by H.C.S. Warendorf and R.L. Thomas. Mr. Warendorf is a partner of the Dutch firm, Trenite Van Doorne and a sworn translator. Mr Thomas is a partner of the English firm, Sinclair Roche & Temperley and a Dutch speaker. In addition, there is an introduction by Professor Dr. E. Wymeersch, the Director of the Faculty of Law at the University of Gent. The work reflects the intensive re-regulation of Belgian Company Law in the last decade resulting from both the implementation of EC harmonisation directives and Parliament's desire to correct shortcomings in the law highlighted by the Societe Generale takeover. The reader will find the translation invaluable in its guidance on the incorporation of private and public companies, the provisions applicable to their share capital, their management and audit and their winding up. In addition, the procedures for the registration of foreign companies in Belgium will be useful for international companies wishing to establish a presence there without incorporating a subsidiary. The legislation on mergers and takeovers is also covered and will be of interest to investors and their advisors considering Belgian target companies. This book will be of particular interest to all practitioners in the field of international company and business law as well as enterprises wishing to invest in Belgium or already having a place of business there and their advisors.
