"With the so-called "Company Law Package" in 2018, the EU Commission has initiated a harmonization of cross-border transformation measures (merger, demerger, change of legal form). This EU Directive must be implemented in national law by the EU member states by the end of January 2023. In Germany, the EU Directive will not be implemented on time.

In this article, our expert Dr. Martin Nentwig classifies the draft law and provides an overview of the extensive changes.
