Abstract
This paper reviews a timely legal book on Global Venture Capital Transactions (Brechbuehl and Wooder, 2004) in the context of academic entrepreneurial finance work on venture capital contracting. Legal scholarship in Global Venture Capital Transactions is provided for 12 countries (Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Italy, The Netherlands, Taiwan, and the US).
