Sarah Paterson
Reviews and Awards
"Corporate Reorganization Law and Forces of Change is an excellent addition to the literature on insolvency and corporate restructuring law." -- Alisdair MacPherson, University of Aberdeen, The Edinburgh Law Review
"Corporate Reorganization Law and Forces of Change provides a novel, fresh approach to the study of corporate reorganisation law." -- Eugenio Vaccari, International Company and Commercial Law Review
"This engaging and interdisciplinary study by Sarah Paterson offers an examination of how creditors in the UK and US have mobilised and adapted the law in a variety of ways to achieve restructurings ... Readers will gain understanding of two complex systems in a well-written text that should be of interest even to non-specialist readers." -- Professor Rebecca Parry, Nottingham Law School, Eurofenix
"Paterson's excellent new book cleverly combines examination of law and finance and demonstrates how the law is mobilized and adapted in the US and UK to suit the case at hand in various ways in the corporate reorganisation context... The book is important because of changes in the financial field that have had significant impacts on large corporate restructuring cases in recent years, namely a shift from "a hold-to maturity, working capital debt market to a traded, leveraged market"... The book builds upon and expands [Paterson's] previous work and in doing so it makes an excellent contribution to literature on the topic of corporate reorganisations... The book takes an Anglo-American approach and offers considerable enlightenment in regard to both systems. It draws upon an extensive range of interdisciplinary literature and has an excellent account of relevant statutes and cases, as well as industry publications and approaches." -- Rebecca Parry, International Insolvency Review
