The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.Family constitutions in family-owned firms are becoming increasingly popular around the world. While some, though not much, research examining this trend has come from a management research perspective, legal scholarship of family constitutions is even scarcer.The first volume of this new series brings together chapters from the 'Law and Management of Family Firms' conference which took place at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Hamburg, presenting legal, managerial, historical and comparative perspectives of family constitutions. Family Firms and Family Constitution delves deeply into topics as diverse as ownership, succession, governance, justice and more, all from a managerial and legal perspective from around the world.The pioneering Law and Management of Family Firms series publishes volumes following the annual Hamburg Conference: Law and Management of Family Firms, the international and interdisciplinary forum for family business research. The conference is organized by the Max Planck Institute and the Institute for Mittelstand and Family Firms (HSBA Hamburg School of Business Administration). It brings together two distinct and previously disconnected disciplines of law and management, benefiting scholars, lawyers, consultants, and family office practitioners.

Das Aktiengesetz 1965 feiert 2015 seinen funfzigsten Geburtstag. Dieses Jubilaum bot den Anlass, im Rahmen eines Symposions die bewegte Entwicklungsgeschichte dieses fur die Ordnung der Volkswirtschaft so besonders wichtigen Gesetzes in den Blick zu nehmen. Am Anfang eines jeden Referats sollte dabei der Ruckblick auf die Ursprunge der gesetzlichen Regelung stehen, um sodann auf der Grundlage der folgenden Entwicklungslinien einen Ausblick auf kunftige Herausforderungen zu wagen. Zu diesem Zweck hat sich im Marz 2015 die erste Liga der Aktienrechtswissenschaft am Geburtsort des AktG 1965 in Bonn versammelt, um dort die drangendsten Fragen zu diskutieren, die das Aktiengesetz in Zukunft zu beantworten hat. Das innere Organisationsgefuge der Aktiengesellschaft, ihre Organe und deren Zusammenspiel, werden dabei ebenso in den Blick genommen wie das Regelungsumfeld der Aktiengesellschaft, die Bezuge zum Konzern- und zum Kapitalmarktrecht sowie das europaische Umfeld.

Große Gesellschaftsverträge und Satzungen gehören zu den Schlüsseltexten des Gesellschaftsrechts. Dieser Band versammelt ausgewählte Statuten, erläutert sie in begleitenden Essays und wirft einen Blick auf die hinter ihnen stehenden Unternehmen und Organisationen. Zeitlich reicht der Bogen von der altrömischen societas über die Florentiner Medici, die Augsburger Fugger und die niederländisch-ostindische Compagnie bis hin zur Gründung von Google. Sachlich wird fast das gesamte Spektrum von Zweckzusammenschlüssen abgedeckt, von den Industrieschwergewichten Siemens, Allianz und Deutsche Telekom über den Massenverein ADAC und die HSV Fußball AG bis hin zur Bucerius Law School. Ein Stück deutscher Wirtschaftsgeschichte erzählen die Statuten der IG Farben, von Auto Union und Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung. Insgesamt laden die 27 Einzelbeiträge ein zu einer (Neu-)Befassung der Rechtswissenschaft mit Gesellschaftsverträgen und schlagen zugleich die Brücke zur Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensgeschichte.

As lawyers we are normally interested in various substantive areas of law; and as comparative lawyers we are interested in finding out about the differences and similarities between national legal systems. But from time to time we should also reflect on how we think and operate, and look at basic questions of legal methodology - both for the sake of understanding better what we do as lawyers immersed in our own legal systems and as lawyers attempting to assess and comprehend how foreign legal systems work. The nine essays in this volume are devoted to the topics of law-making today (with a focus on Japan, Turkey and Russia), judicial decision-making today (with a focus on England and Wales, Switzerland and Argentina), and legal scholarship today (with a focus on the United States, France and South Africa); and they thus revolve around the three protagonists of legal development: legislators, judges and professors.
