The adoption of the EU Takeover Directive in 2004 was marked by significant challenges, with negotiations spanning over a decade. This book provides comprehensive analysis, practical insights, and forward-looking policy recommendations. It discusses contentious issues such as the mandatory bid rule, acting in concert, and take-over defences. It also looks at developments such as sustainability in takeovers, multiple voting rights, or new ways to structure ownership changes. It offers a clear and engaging understanding of the TOD's historical evolution, its transposition, the current institutional design of takeover authorities, conflict of law issues, and the enforcement of takeover law across the EU. And it looks at its practical impact as well as its future developments. With contributions from leading experts, international comparisons, and case studies, it is an authoritative guide to the takeover law in Europe and beyond.

Unternehmensumstrukturierungen, insbesondere inländische und grenzüberschreitende Verschmelzungen und Spaltungen, sowie Sitzverlegungen können weitgehende Konsequenzen für alle Stakeholder haben. Die Beiträge widmen sich der Frage, wie man die vielfältigen Interessen von Gesellschaftern, Gläubigern und Arbeitnehmern am besten schützen kann. Die gesellschaftsrechtlichen Beiträge fokussieren auf die europarechtlichen und einigen nationalen Regelungen zum Schutz der Gesellschafter und Gläubiger. Die arbeitsrechtlichen Beiträge erläutern zunächst das Schicksal der unternehmerischen Mitbestimmung bei grenzüberschreitenden Umstrukturierungen. Weitere Aufsätze fokussieren auf die Regelung des Betriebsübergangs. Der Fokus der Beiträge liegt auf der kritischen Darstellung der europäischen Rechtslage und vereinzelt werden auch nationale Regelungen vorgestellt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt an der Beschreibung von grenzüberschreitenden Situationen. Die Autoren sind österreichische, deutsche, italienische, spanische, polnische, serbische und mazedonische Professoren für Gesellschafts- und Arbeitsrecht.
