Abstract

The convergence of law is a widely discussed and researched phenomenon. In company law the convergence problemacy has often been linked to the so-called Americanization of law which is understood as a phenomenon where foreign law is influenced by American (state or federal) law. Quite often this topic has been approached from a ‘macro’ perspective which leaves some of the research findings somewhat abstract and general. Therefore, in this article, the Americanization of European company law has been analysed utilizing a ‘micro’ perspective. The purpose is to illustrate how and why European company law has been influenced by American corporate law by using the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act as an example.
