We are happy to announce that “The Polish Commercial Companies and Partnership Code”. Merger, demerger, and transformation of companies. Commentary”, a key reference for corporate lawyers, is now in its second edition.
The original text has been updated to take into account the statutory amendments in force as of 15 September 2023 and their implications, especially as regards international and domestic restructuring.
Specific topics discussed in the second edition include the new legal construct of demerger through carving out, cross border demerger and transformation, the simple joint stock company (a new institution in Polish company law), and the possibilities for transformation of a partnership limited by shares.
Maciej Kożuchowski and Marek Michalski edited texts written by Malgorzata Badowska, Michal Boryczka, Maciej Boryczko, Krzysztof Jasiński, Marcin Kasprzyk, Karolina Krzal-Kwiatkowska, Tomasz Maślak, Katarzyna Olszak, Majka Rucinska, Karol Stępniak , Julia Trzmielewska, Małgorzata Wiśniewska, dr Bartłomiej Woźniak , and Monika Żulińska.
Between them, these professionals brought to the project solid academic credentials and a wealth of practical experience with corporate restructuring in all its complexity.
The book promises to be a trove of knowledge not only for counsel advising on transactions, but also for members of the broader legal community as well as managers and entrepreneurs.
Its practical utility is further enhanced by the inclusion – in electronic form, available for download HERE– of document templates and drafts, which can be modified in line with real-life needs.
While we stop short of suggesting that this is the kind of book which will keep you turning pages until the wee hours ++, we do urge you to refer to it – based on our experience, it provides important insights to the current state of Polish company law.
