Die Satzung der Europäischen Aktiengesellschaft (SE) mit Sitz in Deutschland

The European company (Societas Europaea) is a relatively young supranational company with share capital which has become increasingly popular in Germany due to its practicality. It is not only the large companies such as Allianz, BASF and Porsche but also medium-sized companies as well which have decided to adopt this new legal form. The statutes of the SE define the essential structural characteristics of the company. After dealing with the applicable law, Ulrich Gößl analyzes the statutes of a European company with its registered office in Germany. In addition to formal questions, for example with regard to the enactment and the amendment of the statutes, he presents a comprehensive analysis of the latitude provided by the SE statutes.
