UK: what has corporate law reform achieved?

Earlier this year, as part of the Current Legal Problems 2009/10 lecture serious, Dr Arad Reisberg delivered a lecture titled Corporate Law in the UK after Recent Reforms: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The purpose of the lecture was to assess, from the perspective of someone contemplating the creation of a private company to conduct an IT business, the attractiveness of the UK and, amongst other things, the significance of the Companies Act (2006) in this regard. Dr Reisberg has recently published his analysis on SSRN: see here.

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills is also conducting its own evaluation of the 2006 Act: see here.
