Stock corporation law: Specialist lawyer for stock corporation law and stock exchange law in Berlin
Stocks are shares in a company represented by securities. Particular risks may become relevant in connection with the object of the company and the market on which the securities are traded. In this respect, the advisor has various duties to provide information and advice, and the issuer has a duty to publish. If these obligations are breached, investors may be entitled to claims for damages.
Stock corporation law is the name for laws that define and regulate the construct of the stock corporation and the handling of issued shares.
The German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) regulates the establishment, constitution, accounting, general meetings and liquidation of stock corporations and partnerships limited by stocks. In addition, German group law is regulated in the German Stock Corporation Act.
In addition to the Stock Corporation Act, the provisions of the Commercial Code and the Civil Code apply.
Due to its criminal and fine provisions in Sections 399 et seq., the Stock Corporation Act is also part of ancillary criminal law. In the meantime, these penal provisions play an important part in commercial criminal law.
With the Stock Corporation Act, the legislature replaced the "Law on stock corporations and limited partnerships on stocks (stock corporation law)" of January 30, 1937 that was in force until December 31, 1965 (RGBL. I p. 107). Public limited companies and partnerships limited by shares” (RGBl. I p. 166).
A mediation process enables you to reach an amicable agreement much faster , more flexibly and more cost-effectively than through a lawsuit . The participants in a mediation are always in control of the mediation process and can design their own solution. So they don't run the risk of having to accept an outside decision they don't agree with.
In the mediation process - with the help of the mediator - in addition to the legal situation, the interests and conflict backgrounds of the parties involved are particularly appreciated and form the basis for a joint solution. In this way, relations between the conflicting parties can often be maintained or improved.
Unlike in court proceedings, both parties to the conflict should win in the context of mediation - a win-win result is sought. So if the chances of success of a lawsuit are low, if the financial risk of a lawsuit is too great or if the legal dispute is expected to last too long, it is worth approaching conflict resolution with mediation. Because this brings fast, mostly positive results at lower costs.
Conflicts in which a mediation process can help to solve come from a wide variety of areas. Below are some common fields of application and the usual mediator designations
We carry out mediation procedures for you to settle disputes out of court in banking and capital market law, insurance law, tenancy law, labor law, family law and commercial law.
There are different concepts for the course of a mediation process. Most often in mediation you will come across a phased model with five phases.
Please inquire about the costs of mediation as part of our free initial consultation.
Arbitration procedures or conciliation procedures are provided for by the legislator in order to be able to settle disputed questions, complaints and claims out of court through an arbitration board, arbitration expert, ombudsman or a complaints board. The respective arbitration award is not enforceable like a judgment, but insurers and banks usually keep an arbitration award. The main advantage for the consumer is that the procedure is inexpensive compared to legal action and that the statute of limitations for claims is suspended. In this way, for example, if the prospects for litigation are still uncertain and there are high cost risks, the impending limitation period can be delayed for about a year.
Insurance law regulates the rights and obligations between the policyholder and the insurer. It also includes the legislation for social security and private insurance (private insurance law).
The insurances are contracts between two parties, the provider and the policyholder. These contracts specify benefits that are to be paid out in the event of an accident.
Legal norms of private insurance law
In addition to the general legal norms of the BGB, HGB, AGBG etc., the Insurance Supervision Act (VAG), the Insurance Contract Act (VVG) and the General Insurance Conditions (AVB) also play an important role.
You can commission us to do this in all insurance disputes. In particular, we work with the following insurance companies:
life insurance and endowment insurance
Life insurance is an individual insurance policy that provides financial security in the event of the insured person's death.
For this purpose, a life insurance contract is concluded in which it is agreed that a certain insurance benefit will be paid out to the policyholder or another beneficiary in the contractually agreed insured event. Life insurance can be divided into term life insurance and endowment life insurance.
Term life insurance, on the other hand, protects the financial security of the family members of the insured person in the event of death.
Endowment life insurance serves both as a retirement provision and to protect the family in the event of death. At the end of the contract, the amount saved is paid out with interest.
