ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

Europe is actively exploring ways to make it easier for companies to incorporate, raise capital and operate across borders. One of the most ambitious ideas is the 28thRegime: an optional EU-wide corporate framework that would sit alongside national company law systems and offer businesses a more streamlined legal route for cross-border activity.

This course gives lawyers, in-house counsel and business advisers a clear and practical understanding of the EU Inc. proposal: what it aims to solve, how it could operate, where its limits may lie, and why it matters for corporate structuring, governance, investment and expansion in the European Union.

Rather than treating the proposal as an abstract policy debate, the session focuses on what legal and business advisers need to know in practice. Participants will examine the commercial logic behind the proposal, the questions clients are likely to ask, and the role this initiative may play within the wider EU competitiveness and Capital Markets Union agenda.
