Festschrift Für Walter G. Paefgen Zum Siebzigsten Geburtstag

Walter G. Paefgen's academic work focused on entrepreneurial discretionary decisions in stock corporations and their legal reviewability. In doing so, he drew on the extensive case law and literature in the US on the so-called business judgment rule, which was an important source of insight for his analyses. His research always focused on corporate law in all its facets, with international aspects, shaped by his early professional experience in the private sector, playing a particularly important role. This is reflected in his numerous publications, for example on the European Company (SE) or on cross-border issues. The Festschrift brings together a total of 33 articles on current or fundamental issues in commercial law. The articles are based on the main areas of focus of the honoree's academic work and deal with topics from the entire spectrum of national and international corporate and capital market law, as well as issues of group law, compliance, and corporate acquisitions.
