With effect from 1 January 2021, Act No. 90/2012 Coll., on Business Companies and Cooperatives (Business Corporations Act) will be amended by Act No, 33/2020 Coll.  In addition to partial terminological and technical adjustments, this major amendment to the Business Corporations Act fundamentally changes the general legislation of companies and their various legal forms.

In this webinar we will introduce you to the most important changes and the main impacts that the biggest amendment of the Business Corporations Act since 2014 will bring. We will focus on a basic overview of the changes and adjustments in the general part of the law, such as the adjustment of profits. We will discuss specific changes in the operation of limited liability companies regarding the amount of share capital, powers of the general meeting, decision-making, termination of participation in the company and more. You will also learn about the most important legal regulations of a joint-stock company, such as the articles of association, the functioning of the general meeting, the prohibition of competition, etc.
