Managing director liability

Our clients include national and international companies of all sizes.

A central issue when advising them is the question of the personal responsibility (liability) of the executive bodies of corporations - in the case of a limited liability company (GmbH), the managing director. You can find more information on the topic of managing director liability in the brochure by Dr Thomas Hausbeck.
