NEWSLETTER-2017

PREFACE We are honored to bring to you our new book “Newsletter 2017”. Since 2010, at the end of each year we compiled the articles that are posted monthly on our website in a book to allow our readers an outlook on the year’s key legal developments. This book of articles now published for the eighth year, has attracted growing attention from our clients, business partners and fellow practitioners over the years. While the book was well received by many of the readers, we are highly encouraged to keep the impetus and further develop and expand our work. It is a pleasure to see that the articles are frequently cited in a number of scientific studies and they are now considered reliable academic resources. This gives us pride and even greater mo- tivation. We continued the tradition of the past years for this publication of Newsletter 2017. In 2017, our team wrote on a wide variety of le- gal disciplines some of which are in new areas of law developed in parallel to meet the needs of the today’s business. Further we did not leave out the importance of comparative law and our team researched on the developments in foreign legislations including the European Union. In the eighth annual edition of the book, you will read articles on corporate law implementation of issues such as pre-emptive rights, capital increase through internal resources and legal requirements for the members of the board of directors in joint stock companies and the structure of holding companies.
