Die Vertretung der Aktiengesellschaft durch ihren Aufsichtsrat

Elena Wasserbäch investigates the widely-established practice of German companies limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft - AG) being represented by their supervisory boards. The main focus of this work is the way such companies are represented to third parties, while in addition to considering legal business vis-à-vis legal or natural persons close to members of boards of directors, the legal transactions benefitting them, and multilateral legal transactions involving members, the author also looks into the use of directors and officers (D&O) liability insurances and auditors.
