Legal forms
What?
How do I set up a partnership? What is an entrepreneurial company (UG)? And how many people can I form a civil law partnership (GbR) with?
The question of the appropriate legal form is a recurring question, especially when it comes to the establishment and forms of economic cooperation.
In this seminar, the lawyer Johann D. Riemenschneider gives an overview of the three most common legal forms for cultural and creative professionals: GbR, UG, and partner companies. He discusses their advantages and disadvantages and answers the following questions, among others: Which legal form suits my project? What criteria play a role in the selection? Do I have to register the legal form I have chosen, and if so, where?
During the seminar, you will also have the opportunity to discuss your questions with our speaker.
