The fifth edition of The Law of Partnerships and Corporations provides an updated review of the law governing the most common forms of business organizations in Canada: the sole proprietorship, the partnership, and the corporation. This substantially revised text is as an approachable and applicable reference for law and business students, lawyers, accountants, and others concerned with understanding business organizations.

Professor J. Anthony VanDuzer explains how organizations are formed and the relationships between business stakeholders

including its owners, managers, customers, creditors, tort victims, and the public

and how the law provides an organizational structure for those relationships. In this updated edition, emphasis is placed on the practical application of legal rules in an everyday context and the role that lawyers play in advising their business clients. The text is fully updated to reflect developments in case law and statutory reforms and cites dozens of new cases. The chapters on corporate governance and corporate social responsibility have also been significantly revised to reflect changes in how businesses are responding to environmental, social, and governance issues.

The Law of Partnerships and Corporations is a comprehensive introduction to law and practice that has been cited more than fifty times by Canadian courts and frequently in academic writing on corporate law.
