The authors note that most busineses which change hands in Australia are small to medium. The book is clearly written with that type of conveyance in mind, but it will also prove valuable to those dealing in larger transactions. It is admirable that the authors have managed to cover every Australian jurisdiction, and an enormous range of issues, in a mere 427 pages. … most practitioners should find its format and easy to follow index a great time saver. Students should also find it valuable in commercial transactions courses. I note the modest RRP of $125, I would think it a necessary investment for anyone who deals in this area. – ACT Law Society Newsletter, Ethos, March 2010
