“With this treatise, corporate lawyers in Maine are indebted to Jim Zimpritch for making their professional lives easier.” - Eric Saunders

   In 2003, for the first time in over thirty years, Maine’s corporation law was extensively revised.  Jim Zimpritch, author of Maine Corporation Law & Practice, served as chair of the Corporate Law Revision Committee, the group that oversaw the creation of these significant legislative changes.  In Maine Corporation Law & Practice, Zimpritch explains the new law, analyzes the issues behind the statute revisions, and highlights practical applications by providing a roadmap for practitioners to find their way through the most challenging of corporate legal issues. 

Maine Corporation Law & Practice is the indispensable resource for Maine lawyers working on corporate law issues.  At once scholarly and practical, the work covers a broad range of topics, including:

• Duties of directors and controlling shareholders;
• Duties regarding minority shareholders;
• Mergers and other fundamental changes;
• Economic, voting and other characteristics of stock;
• Director’s conflicting interest transactions;
• Maine’s Blue Sky Law;
• Takeovers, and a host of other corporate legal matters.

The complete text of the Maine Business Corporation Act is also included, as are over forty actual forms tailored to the new act and used by leading Maine firms.  Maine Corporation Law & Practice, 2nd Edition has been well received in New England’s legal circles. “In my opinion, anyone dealing with legal matters involving Maine corporations would be ill-advised not to have Maine Corporation Law & Practice close at hand,” commented David Cluchey, Associate Dean and Professor at the University of Maine Law School.
