Programme
Future in Law and Economy
European Tax & Legal Forum gives new space to relevant issues from law and business. This year's programme focuses on the economic consequences of the Corona crisis. In order to overcome the economic crisis, countries have taken on heavy debt and continue to be particularly dependent on the European Central Bank's low interest rate policy. What economic developments do we have to prepare for and what does this mean for business practice? The conference provides participants not only with assessment benchmarks for day-to-day economic policy events, but also with information for more informed decisions in business and consulting practice.
