Private Investment Law

Private Investment Law explains in clear and straightforward language the nature, operation, and taxation of investments in private companies, looking in detail at asset classes such as venture capital, angel investment, equity crowdfunding, and employee share schemes. The text guides readers through the laws regulating private companies and the ways in which they raise capital, and offers insights into investment structuring, risk management strategies, and exit mechanisms. Drawing on a comparative analysis of the United Kingdom, the United States, and New Zealand, the book also proposes timely reforms to Australia’s private investment laws. This comprehensive text is an invaluable resource for legal, finance, and tax professionals and students, as well as policymakers, founders, investors, and fund managers seeking clarity in a high-stakes field.
