Directors Liability: A Worldwide Review, third editionKluwer Law International, September 2016
Directors' Liability is a source of reference for international business lawyers published in conjunction with the International Bar Association.

The book covers nearly fifty jurisdictions worldwide and includes eight jurisdictions previously not covered. The third edition offers senior lawyers in major firms the opportunity to provide concise, detailed, and easy-to-understand summaries on their home law on directors' liability.
