Corporate Law in Germany

Zusammenfassung

Corporate Law in Germany provides detailed insights into the German law on limited liability companies (GmbH) and stock corporations (AG). It covers listed corporations and corporate governance and tackles questions regarding taxation and accounting.

The fourth edition takes account of the relevant changes in European and German law, such as the Shareholders’ Rights Act (ARUG II), the Second Management Positions Act (FüPOG II) and the Financial Market Integrity Strengthening Act (FISG). The English translations of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG) and the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), a glossary of important terms and various tables make this book a useful day-to-day reference guide for German attorneys advising foreign clients on German corporate law, as well as for companies informing foreign investors on corporate law matters in Germany. It is also ideal for foreign advisors, comparative lawyers and providers of linguistic services seeking insights into German corporate law and terminology.
