Geoeconomics, law and system resilience
Thursday, November 28, 2024
The central theme of this year's annual conference deals with the current economic outlook in the light of the changed geopolitical security situation and the existing options for action in legal and tax practice. The program thus strikes a balance between an economic reality check, entrepreneurial future prospects and the legal and tax framework in the European context.
