Top Ten Books in Corporate Law (Practitioner)

My previous post listing my favorite books in corporate governance turned out to be fairly popular.  A few readers suggested however that my list contained few books that a practitioner would find useful in day to day practice.  I don’t know whether that’s true, but I will accept that my list had an academic focus.  Here is a list of my ten favorite books with a practioner focus.  Most of them are treatises.  What’s missing is the “Guide to Dodd-Frank” although I am sure someone will publish that once the implementing regulations are completed.  Until then, of course, your best bet to understand the corporate governance implications of Dodd-Frank is to read Defending Against Shareholder Proxy Access: Delaware’s Future Reviewing Company Defenses in the Era of Dodd-Frank.
