Droit des sociétés et notariat

The course addresses the various aspects of companies law that the public notary may have to cover: articles of incorporation (requirements and main clauses); main modifications of the articles of association (increase and decrease of the capital, modification of the object, modification of the respective rights of the different categories of shares); conversion; mergers; liquidation and winding-up. Special attention shall be given to the transitory provisions of the Law of 23 March 2019 introducing the Code of Companies and Associations.

The course aims to provide the students with the necessary tools for drafting notarial deeds for companies and for identifying the needs of the client, asking the relevant questions and taking into account all relevant aspects in view of ensuring the conformity of these deeds with the legal rules and the objectives which are pursued by the client (expressed or not).

The course will consist of interactive seminars. Each class meeting will have a duration of two hours and will be composed of questions and answers and of discussions on the basis of the exercises and deeds reproduced in the textbook and, as the case may be, other exercises and deeds provided in the course of the year. Students will be requested to read the materials in the textbook and to do additional researches in preparation of each class, in accordance with a schedule published in the textbook.

References, bibliography, and recommended reading

The students are requested to bring the Code of companies and associations to the classes.
