Dear reader,
We are very pleased to present the September edition of our International Briefing in a new design and with our new logo.
This briefing focusses on recent legislative developments that we consider of interest to international business, ranging from new developments and trends relating to foreign direct investment to Germany, proposals to amend German real estate transfer tax rules, to new legislative projects like geo-blocking in the EU and the extension of tax liability to B2B digital services in Russia.
We also inform on rapid developments in Corporate Social Responsibility, the data protection since May 2018 with a specific focus on the energy sector and we give an update of the transparency requirements for German companies after the 5th European Money Laundering Directive entered into force.
Last but not least we are proud to announce that the leading German economy weekly Wirtschaftswoche ranked BEITEN BURKHARDT in the top tier of the best legal firms in the field of Mergers & Acquisitions for 2018.
We already look forward to seeing many of you at the different upcoming events, such as the ABA in California, the IBA Annual Conference in Rome and the Expo Real in Munich!
Best regards,
