Features: The German Joint-Stock Company Law is one of the authoritative treatises on German joint-stock company law, written by the distinguished German professor, Professor Thomas Raischel. The book is divided into eight major parts based on the intrinsic legal system of joint-stock company law, covering important issues in company law such as the legal and theoretical foundations of joint-stock company law, joint-stock companies, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies. Additionally, the book explores significant legal issues such as company changes, conglomerates, and multinational companies. The book not only introduces the basic theories of German joint-stock company law but also reflects the latest legislative developments, new research findings, and recent judicial decisions in this field, demonstrating strong practical applicability. By reading this book, readers can gain a comprehensive and theoretical understanding of German joint-stock companies and related legal issues, as well as practical insights into how to establish, operate, and manage a joint-stock company in Germany. This work is a representative achievement of Professor Thomas Raischel and is considered an authoritative and fundamental reference for understanding and researching German joint-stock company law. The introduction of this book not only opens a window for Chinese readers to understand German company law but also holds significant practical implications for the ongoing revision of China's company law. Since the promulgation and revision of China's company law in 1999, many issues remain unresolved. Chinese legal and economic scholars have engaged in in-depth and intense discussions on these matters. As a result, the third revision of the company law has been put on the agenda. The book by Professor Raischel not only addresses most of the issues currently debated in China's company law academia but also discusses problems that have yet to be recognized by Chinese scholars and may arise in the future. China is a traditional civil law country, and studying and understanding the rules of German joint-stock company law holds great reference value for solving similar legal issues in China. Moreover, with the development of international trade, this book can also serve as a reference for entrepreneurs investing in Germany.
