Given that most large and medium-sized companies act internationally, an increasing number of managers serve as executive and non-executive directors of affiliates or groups of companies in
several jurisdictions. Irrespective of this, management faces increasing legal restrictions and regulation in various countries. In this environment, managers should not only take legal
advice but also develop a sense for potential legal risks and be aware of the most relevant rules for management in the respective states, to be able to act and decide or supervise other
managers properly. Governance offers comprehensive information on legal issues for international managers in 23 countries in terms of decision-making, corporate crisis, accounting,
mergers and acquisitions, as well as equity and debt raisings.
