Streitigkeiten aus M&A-Transaktionen

Published: 2 March 2013

Streitigkeiten während oder nach M&A-Transaktionen nehmen zu und stellen besondere Anforderungen an die Prozessführung vor staatlichen Gerichten oder Schiedsgerichten. Die Weichenstellungen dafür werden häufig bereits in den Transaktionsverhandlungen vorgenommen, in denen die Möglichkeit einer prozessualen Auseinandersetzung stets im Auge zu behalten ist. In diesem neu erschienenen Werk bieten die Autoren einen praxisbezogenen Überblick über die verschiedenen Arten von M&A-Streitigkeiten und die möglichen Verfahren zu ihrer Erledigung. Ergänzt wird die Darstellung durch Musterklauseln und praktische Redaktionshinweise, die M&A-Praktikern in Unternehmen und Advokatur als Gerüst und Inspirationsquelle dienen mögen.
