The Transfer of Shares of Private Companies [Elektronische Daten] [Susanne Kalss] The free movement of companies all over Europe subsequent to the ECJ rulings in Centros, Überseering and Inspire Art has created a wide range of new conflict of laws issues. The following essay deals with one of these questions: the applicability of local transfer restrictions to foreign companies. After a broad overview of the regime of share transfers in the different European jurisdictions, it analyses the European conflict rules to end with a surprising result: It may well be the case that the transfer of shares of an English limited company is, despite lex societatis, subjected to German formal requirements (notarisation) when taking place in Germany. Legal advice should be aware of this potential risk. © Walter de Gruyter EU law: financial, taxation, commercial, industrial nationallicence European Company and Financial Law Review Walter de Gruyter 1/3(2004-10-01), 340-367 1613-2548 1:3<340 2004 1 ecfr https://doi.org/10.1515/ecfr.2004.1.3.340 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/ecfr.2004.1.3.340 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Kalss Susanne 1.
