Participants will gain a comprehensive overview of the most significant changes within the field of corporate and company law. Rather than focusing on isolated issues, the curriculum encourages attendees to analyze how new legislation and recent judicial rulings connect, providing a cohesive picture of the current legal landscape. This course is specifically tailored for those already established in the field, including advocates, civil-law notaries, corporate counsel, and members of the judiciary.
