Success model GmbH

Legal basis for SMEs and family companies

This training is held in German.
The GmbH is more popular than ever and is one of the most widely used legal forms for SMEs and family companies. The success of a GmbH depends largely on the relationship between the acting bodies. Their functioning, rights and obligations, which have been modified in individual areas by COVID-19 legislation, must be known in order to be able to make the best possible use of the "GmbH model" as a shareholder or managing director. However, the contractual partner of a GmbH should also know the essential rules of the game in order to act correctly at the crucial moment.
