Conference on "Legal Persons as Directors and Officers" on 11 December 2025
The Centre for Comparative Corporate Finance Law (C³FL) is pleased to announce the international interdisciplinary conference "Boards Inc. - Legal Persons as Directors and Officers".
The conference intends a critical assessment of the question whether company law should allow legal persons to act as directors and officers of a company. For that purpose, it brings together economic, comparative and historical approaches to corporate law from various jurisdictions. In offering their critical perspectives, speakers are also invited to include into their contribution a regulatory and literature review of their home jurisdiction. Building on this comparative survey, which will include both jurisdictions that have been traditionally allowing “Incorporated Boards” and those which don’t, participants will discuss the merits of regulatory reform.
Time: Thursday, 11 December 2025
Location: Dachgeschoss Juridicum Wien, Schottenbastei 10-16, 1010 Vienna
More details and the program will be available on this website soon.

Conference on "Legal Arbitrage in Corporate Finance" from 16-17 June 16, 2025
The Centre for Comparative Corporate Finance Law (C³FL) cordially invites you to the conference on “Legal Arbitrage in Corporate Finance”.

For that purpose, attention shall be drawn to regulatory differentials of mandatory rules, default and altering rules of corporate finance law on its various doctrinal levels such as contract law, property law and security interest law, capital markets law as well as insolvency law and restructuring law. That sets the stage for a revitalized policy discussion of those rules, while also putting into question the conflict of laws rules governing individual corporate finance arbitrage choices.
