Company Law is a long-established work. First published in 1933 (entitled The Law Relating to Companies in New Zealand), a second edition was published in 1955. The third edition was published as Anderson’s Company and Securities Law in 1986. A fourth edition followed new company legislation in 1998, while the current edition was extensively re-written in 2003 to take full advantage of delivery in an online format.

The key purpose of the publication has always been to have a very practical focus that is of value to a wide cross-section of professionals, including lawyers in private practice, corporate lawyers and accountants. Anyone who is required to research or provide advice on New Zealand company law will find that Company Law is an essential source of information.Securities Law is available separately, but is fully complementary to Company Law.
