Course Description |
This course aims to help students to correctly appreciate the differences between various business vehicles available in China and to comprehend the rights and duties of different stakeholders in a company. This course also aims to teach students company law and regulations in China in a comparative setting by reference to company law in other jurisdictions, in particular, common law jurisdictions such as England, Hong Kong, and the United States. Furthermore, this course will help students to master the basic norms, doctrines and principles in relation to companies, and to be able to apply them to relevant issues in a more practical manner. Here are some topics this course may cover: business vehicles and classification of companies; incorporation and formation; corporate personality; promoters and preincorporation contracts; corporate charter and constitution; corporate governance; division of corporate powers; fiduciary duties; protection of minority shareholders; bankruptcy and restructuring; corporate social responsibility. This course may arrange small training sessions so that students will have the opportunities to “practice” company law in hypothetical corporate transactions. |
