    15-01-2021

These include, for example, the introduction of the capital band, the admissibility of virtual general meetings and significant changes to the law on restructuring. In the latest edition of our newsletter Legal Compass, the most important changes from the point of view of non-listed companies are presented and, in the sense of a planning aid, the need for action is outlined.
