  • Distressed M&A on the rise

    In line with many other jurisdictions, the Austrian M&A market has suffered from the financial crisis both in terms of volume and number of deals. Most estimates and statistics have shown a drop-off in 2008 of between 20% and 30% as compared to 2007

  • How the State succeeded

    As in many other jurisdictions, the Austrian government was forced to react quickly to the financial crisis in the autumn of 2008. Providing support to banks was a central component of the legislative measures on financial market stabilisation that were adopted in late October 2008. After the joint declaration on the concerted European action plan on October 12 2008, the Austrian government promptly the next day announced a package of measures intended to be taken. One week later the Austrian parliament adopted the implementing legislation on financial market stabilisation which went into effect in large part on October 27 2008. The European Commission state aid approval of the Austrian financial market stabilisation measures was communicated on December 10 2008 and extended to the end of this year by a decision rendered on June 30 2009.

  • MANAGING DIRECTOR LIABILITY AND INSOLVENCY IN CROATIA

    In times of crisis, it is particularly important for the managing director of a limited liability company to meet all legally prescribed obligations regarding auditing and notification in a timely manner in order to avoid any possible (personal) liability. In Croatia, countless companies ("društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću" or abbreviated "d.o.o.") exist in which foreigners act as managing directors.
