Zum Hintergrund

 

The position of a managing director as member of the executive body is associated with both a lot of responsibility for the company and also major liability risks. Knowing these "pitfalls“ and recognizing at an early stage any liability-relevant situations, especially if working with a group, is, thus, of prime importance for the managing director and their staff.

 

In the course of the event facts and circumstances triggering liability shall be explained using practical examples and we shall explore possibilities of safeguarding on the basis of specific case studies. A particular focus is placed on service transactions with the shareholder and proper conduct both before and during the crisis of a GmbH. Here, too, we will discuss concrete practical cases. In addition, for further support you will be provided with checklists on the managing director's liability so as to sustainably and effectively avoid any liability risks.

 

We will also deal with any issues related to the employment relationship, including tactical clues in the event of a termination without notice.

 

The seminar is addressed to managing directors of a German GmbH, executive management assistants as well as members of supervisory boards. As the number of participants will be limited , early registration is recommended.
