Autry, Horton & Cole Partners Author The Law of Cooperatives
ATLANTA-(Business Wire)-August 24, 2009 - Autry, Horton & Cole, LLP is pleased to announce that partners Charles T. Autry and Roland F. Hall have co-authored a newly released book, The Law of Cooperatives. The first of its kind, this book provides a practical overview of cooperatives and cooperative law, addressing topics such as when to use this business form, governance, financing and taxation.
It is a must read for executives and attorneys working with cooperatives as well as those seeking to form a new business. Published by the American Bar Association Business Law Section, the book is available through http://www.abanet.org/abastore and will be offered later this year by major retail outlets including amazon.com.
According to founding partner and co-author Charles Autry, “As our economy changes, we’re seeing an increased interest in cooperatives across a wide range of industries from health care and renewable energy to broadband services. Our firm is excited to share our expertise on cooperatives.”
Partner and co-author Roland Hall said, “Through our research, we discovered a scarcity of information about cooperatives and the advantages and disadvantages of using the cooperative structure.”
Jonathan C. Lipson, Peter J. Liacouras Professor of Law, Temple University-Beasley School of Law stated, “As someone who teaches business organizations, I can tell you that this work fills a big gap in the literature on an important form of business entity. Changes in energy and housing policy, among other things, will create increased interest in cooperatives.”
