Shareholders' Agreements: A Tax and Legal Guide, 3rd Edition

 The best-selling Shareholders' Agreements: a Tax and Legal Guide is a practical, easy to read reference guide to the major business, financial, and tax considerations involved when structuring shareholders' agreements. The book has been revised since the last edition to take into account changing tax legislation and updates to common legal precedents such as:

  • Enhanced GAAR discussion with comments on recent Superior Court of Canada decision
  • Changes relating to non-competition agreements
  • New dividend taxation rules
  • New issues on share purchase on death
  • Increased lifetime SBC capital gains deduction
  • Changes relating to non-resident vendors/purchasers

The above changes will impact the typical shareholders' agreement as it would relate to payment of dividends vs. retention of income at the corporate level, structuring buyouts in the most tax effective way and the role of holding companies.

Consequently, the content of the book has been updated in order to meet the needs of professionals such as lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, and financial advisors who are frequently asked to comment on these types of agreements. This is especially important since shareholders' agreements form an integral part of business succession and estate planning, which is an area of projected growth given an aging population.

Additional Content:

Shareholders' Agreements: a Tax and Legal Guide also includes boilerplate samples on the accompanying DVD. Working sample agreements and variable clauses will be included on the DVD for convenient agreement creation.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Intergovernmental Organizations

The world is getting smaller and increasingly interdependent every day. As a result, national and regional developments are, as a matter of necessity, seen in a global framework. States want to preserve their independence but they are confronted with a growing list of problems which they can only solve in co-operation with others. The sheer scale of the issues at stake calls for an institutional framework to give that co-operation a more permanent structure.

It is therefore appropriate in the framework of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws to make accessible comprehensive, substantial and readily available information on the most important intergovernmental organizations, given their importance for the development of international law and intergovernmental co-operation in general. The fundamental changes taking place nowadays at an incredible pace within IGOs render it all the more necessary to put this information within easy reach. Some 55 leading organizations will be described in separate monographs of approximately 150 pages each.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Family and Succession Law

Family and succession law are tightly bound together. Succession law is usually based on kindred relationships as established by family law. The trends established in the marital property laws and succession laws are often a result of developments in family law.

Equality of spouses and of all children, regardless of their descent, is not without consequences for marital property laws and succession law. Therefore, this comprehensive comparative looseleaf set covers family law together with marital property law and succession law. In addition to the national monographs this subset of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws currently includes a monograph for the European Union.

This set is primarily intended for judges, notaries, lawyers and registrars of civil status who find themselves having to apply foreign laws as a result of applicable international private law. However, it is also of great value to academics and researchers, for whom it stimulates comparative studies by providing the necessary basic materials of family and succession law.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Energy Law

The complex law surrounding energy production and the exploitation of natural resources has reached the legal foreground both nationally and internationally. Numerous countries have enacted new legislation in recent years concerning nuclear power generation, the use of non-renewable resources, transportation of hazardous materials and other issues raised by energy production processes.

Other branches of law have inevitably become bound up with energy law, making it difficult for the legal practitioner to gain a clear appreciation of the entire field, especially in a transnational context.

Each national monograph in this book contains a general introduction, a description of the country's energy legislation, an overview of the basic principles of energy law, the historical background, the role of governmental institutions and the sources of energy law in that country's legal system. Each country's regulatory framework concerning electricity, gas, petrol and coal is fully set forth.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Cyber Law

The introduction of new digital information and communications technologies has given birth to a new legal domain, commonly called Information and Communication Technology Law or, more fashionably, Cyber Law.

Practically every country in the world has issued specific legislation or developed case law in this area. The domain has acquired sufficient stability to fit into a common structure and a logical consequence of this evolution is the publication of an International Encyclopaedia of Cyber Law. The initial volume contains information about cyber laws in Australia, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Japan, UK, Portugal, South Africa and Spain. Other countries will be incorporated as the work matures. As well as national monographs, it includes monographs on supranational and international cyber law issues.
