Many students study company law as part of a degree or professional education or training. Unfortunately, company law is not an easy subject to study or understand and students need all the help they can get. Q A Company Law provides valuable guidance on answering the types of questions which can be found in degree and professional examinations. One difficulty with company law is that it involves a complicated web of relationships between the company, its shareholders, its directors and third parties. Students often find it hard to see the 'big picture' while grappling with the technical complexities of the law.
