UIA Seminar about ESG in Hamburg 2025 - Ernst Giese as Speaker

"Come on, it’s ESG! The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the ESG Legal Galaxy"


..."Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has become a reality for all economic actors. Companies around the world are facing regulation at many levels, both public and private. In addition, ESG is moving from the periphery to the mainstream, transforming the capital and financial market. How are companies dealing with these changes? Is ESG just a stumbling block or does it also offer opportunities? The seminar aims to explore the (best?) practices of companies and advisors in their day-to-day work in dealing with these transformations. The seminar will also focus on how to make ESG operational through contractual clauses to be included in supply chain contracts, general terms and conditions of purchase and other international contracts."... (UIA)

Conflicts of Interest: A Three-Layer Problem with Real Money at Stake

Conflicts of Interest: A Three-Layer Problem with Real Money at Stake

Babiš’s conflict-of-interest problem is not just politics – it is a three-layer legal framework, with the sharpest impact coming from the pub-lic-money firewall in Sections 4b and 4c. We explain why shifting Agrofert into trust-type structures still raises doubts, and why the Hartenberg arm remains a key part of the story. A brisk read on the limits of Czech legislation and why the European Commission’s next steps may keep this issue alive.
