They also shed light on the current status of the planned European Supply Chain Directive (CSDDD) and the draft of the Financial Crime Prevention Act (FKBG) as well as the upcoming obligation to establish a reporting office for companies with more than 50 employees on December 17 in accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act.
• In the Corporate / M&A chapter, Dr. Dominik Wagner, LL.M., Tomasz Baron, LL.M. and Bahar Beyaz focus on a recent exciting ruling by the Federal Court of Justice on disclosure obligations in the context of due diligence, which underlines that the mere provision of data in a designated data room does not always fulfill the contractual disclosure obligations.
