Read the valuable contribution of Prof. Pierre-Henri Conac (Max Planck Fellow at the MPI Luxembourg and Professor at the University of Luxembourg) in the research handbook on Shareholders' Inspection Rights!

 

Shareholder inspection rights serve as a vital means of safeguarding shareholders' interests, providing them with exclusive access to confidential company books and records that are not accessible to the general public.

Despite some discussions in jurisdictions like Delaware (USA), the scholarly exploration of this topic at an international level has been lacking. The primary aim of this Research Handbook is to bridge this gap by undertaking a comprehensive and comparative analysis of shareholder inspection rights. It represents the first initiative of its kind, seeking to fill the void and shed light on the significance of shareholder inspection through an in-depth examination and comparison across jurisdictions.

With his extensive expertise in company law and financial regulation, Prof. Conac offers a deep dive into the unique landscape of shareholder inspection and investigation rights in France. His contribution promises to shed light on the legal framework, scope, and procedures pertaining to these rights, providing a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and shareholders interested in the French context.
