Preface

The Law

was

inaugu-

rated

in

1943

and has

been

a

regular yearly event

in the

Continuing

Legal

Education Program

for

over

60

years.

As the

flagship program

of

The

Law

Society,

the

Special Lectures series

is

well known

for its

excep-

tional quality,

high

calibre

of

speakers

and

extreme usefulness

for

those

who

attend. Each year,

the

Lectures bring together legal experts

of

national

and

international prominence

to

share their ideas

and

perspec-

tives

on a

particular area

of law

with

the

membership.

We are

pleased

to

present

Special

Corporate

&

Commer-

cial

Law.

This significant publication

has

been developed

by a

distinguished

faculty

to

provide

you

with

the

latest knowledge

commer-

cial

law

practice. This volume

is the

first

"Special Lectures" devoted

exclusively

to

either Corporate

or

Commercial

Law

since 1985

and

promises

to

become

an

essential reference tool

for

business lawyers.

I

would like

to

extend

my

sincere appreciation

on

behalf

of The Law
