- Summary:
- This casebook by Oesterle (law, The Ohio State U.) is designed as a text for a three-credit, upper-class law school course on mergers and acquisitions. Following the introduction, chapters cover the basic mechanics of the acquisition process; successorship to assets and liabilities; acquisition documents; the legal duties of boards of directors, senior executives, and controlling shareholders; the disclosure requirements of the Federal Securities Act and state law, accounting and tax issues; protecting consumer interests; and issues in international acquisitions. Presumably, the fourth edition has been updated in light of recent developments in law, but the author provides no specific information on what changes may or may not have been made.
