Review of the UK Takeover Code

By Harvard Law School Program on Corporate Governance

Editor?s Note: This post comes to us from Tobia Croff, a partner in the European Corporate Group at Shearman & Sterling LLP and is based on a Shearman & Sterling Client Publication.

This review has been prompted in part by the debate - both in the press and among politicians - generated by the highly controversial and ultimately successful bid by Kraft for Cadbury earlier this year; Shearman & Sterling and the firm acted as US counsel to Cadbury in this battle.
