Reviews

This book is a comprehensive resource for running company meetings. It contains examples and details of resolutions for just about every imaginable situation, but also the background principles as well as interesting and useful stuff on the role of the Chairman, content of Minutes, Directors' Duties and so on. Priced at about half an hour of a lawyer's time, this is an exceptional resource and very useful book.
*Customer Review, Amazon*

In this intellectual memoir, Simpson does a Simpson on his own life's work: a detailed, empirical exposition, enabling the reader to put the phenomena in their historical context.
