Description
Understanding the governance of private equity-backed companies is crucial for all of us, as they play a significant role in the economy. This book examines the laws that apply to these companies in the UK, analysing the actual governance frameworks in place and identifying the problems created by the legal rules. Simon Witney, a practicing private equity lawyer, positions private equity portfolio companies within existing academic theory and explores the laws that govern them.
Witney argues that private equity owners have the incentives and capability to focus on responsible investment practices, and good governance is a critical success factor for the private equity industry. This book explains why governance mechanisms are established and what they are expected to achieve, providing valuable insights into the world of private equity.
With its unique perspective from a practicing private equity lawyer, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of corporate governance and responsible investment in private equity. It is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the complexities of private equity and its impact on the economy.
