Getting A Good Buy With A Little Help From A Friend: Turning To The United States To Go Forward With Australian Takeovers Regulation, James Mcconvill
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
The idea behind this article is to unlock the hidden "genius" of Australian takeovers law. 1 This is to be achieved not by way of legislative reform, but rather by taking a fresh look at the law which already exists, in light of the structure of U.S. takeovers law and innovation in U.S. corporate law scholarship, along with the use of principles and concepts in marketing.

Accordingly, this makes it useful to draw upon principles of marketing …
