Zum Werk Can firms freely choose their place of incorporation and thus the applicable company law? And is it possible that a firm can subsequently reincorporate in another country, with the effect of a change of the law applicable to this company? In the European Union, in order to answer these questions one has to consider the impact of the freedom of establishment and the corresponding case law of the Court of Justice. Beyond some general principles, there is, however, considerable diversity between the laws of the Member States. Thus, this book aims to provide an up-to-date analysis of this important area of law for all Member States. It is based on a comprehensive study, produced for the European Commission, on the private international law of companies in the European Union. This book is likely to be of interest to both practitioners working on cross-border transactions and legal scholars with an interest in company law, private international law and EU law. Vorteile auf einen Blick - in English Language - comprehensive overview - practically oriented based on academic research Zielgruppe For legal practitioners who work on cross-border transactions, as well as legal researchers with an interest in corporate law, institutional private law and EU law.weiterlesen
