On Thursday, 22 November 2012, the Chair of Company, Foundation and Trust Law of the University of Liechtenstein is holding a symposium on the recognition of Liechtenstein companies and foundations abroad.
Dr. Peter Prast, MBA (Chicago), delegate of the supervisory board of Jura Trust AG, Vaduz is focusing his presentation at the 21st Jurisdiction Symposium on “Recognition of Liechtenstein companies and foundations abroad”. The event will be held in the University of Liechtenstein’s auditorium from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Many more legal persons than natural persons live in Liechtenstein or were born there. The question of recognition under civil law of Liechtenstein companies and foundations abroad is of real significance for the little country of Liechtenstein. Resolving the issue is a problem in the application of the law which is the centre of a discussion about international company law. Over the last few years, the jurisdiction of the European Court on settlement and capital movement freedom has made things significantly easier for EEA member state Liechtenstein in this area. However, in recent times there have been a number of foreign court rulings which represent new challenges for Liechtenstein companies and, more importantly, foundations. At the 21st Jurisdiction Symposium, these developments are highlighted and subjected to critical analysis based on selected foreign rulings.
After the presentation by Dr. Peter Prast, participants will have the opportunity to discuss the issues with the speaker, as well as with Dr. Mario Frick, President of the Solicitors’ Chamber, and Professor Francesco Schurr, Chair of Company, Foundation and Trust Law of the University of Liechtenstein. A detailed programme is available at www.uni.li/rechtsprechtag.
