Programme
Future in Law and Economy
European Tax & Legal Forum gives new space to relevant issues from law and business. This year's program is dominated by the energy and economic crisis. To mitigate the effects of inflation, the states are constantly putting together new relief packages and the ECB has made a U-turn on its low interest rate policy. In its report, the German Federal Court of Auditors has already warned that the federal government will no longer be able to fully perform its duties in the future in view of the ever-increasing government spending. What economic developments must we prepare for and what does this mean for business practice? The conference is intended to provide participants not only with assessment benchmarks for day-to-day economic policy, but also information for well-founded informed decisions in corporate and consulting practice.
