Description

Private equity-backed companies are ubiquitous and economically significant.

Consequently, the corporate governance of these companies matters to all of us, and - not surprisingly - is coming under increasing scrutiny.

Simon Witney, a practicing private equity lawyer, positions private equity portfolio companies within existing academic theory and examines the laws that apply to them in the UK.

He analyses the actual governance frameworks that are put in place and identifies problems created by the legal rules - as well as the market's solutions to them.

This book not only explains why these governance mechanisms are established, but also what they are expected to achieve.

Witney suggests that private equity owners have both the incentives and the capability to focus on responsible investment practices.

Good governance, he argues, is a critical success factor for the private equity industry.
