    Μπορεί ο νόμος για τις ΑΕ να αξιοποιηθεί ως business opportunity;

    Μπορεί ο νόμος για τις ΑΕ να αξιοποιηθεί ως business opportunity;

    Τη σχετική βεβαιότητα κατέδειξε ο Managing Partner της Δικηγορικής μας Εταιρείας, κ. Σταύρος Κουμεντάκης, στα ανώτερα διοικητικά στελέχη του, από 25ετίας συνεργάτη μας, Ομίλου ARTION.

    Η σχετική ημερίδα ήταν η πρώτη της ενότητας με θέμα «Φωτίζοντας το νέο νόμο για τις Ανώνυμες Εταιρείες (Ν.4548/2018) και έλαβε χώρα στις φιλόξενες-κεντρικές εγκαταστάσεις του Ομίλου, στο Μαρούσι.

     

    Λίγα λόγια για την παρουσίαση

    Ο κ. Κουμεντάκης παρουσίασε το γενικότερο πλαίσιο του πρόσφατου νόμου για τις Ανώνυμες Εταιρείες και προχώρησε στην  παρουσίαση  των σημαντικότερων παραμέτρων του νομοθετήματος. Αξιοσημείωτο είναι πως οι επιμέρους πτυχές του φωτίστηκαν ακόμη περισσότερο μέσα από την σημαντική διάδραση και την ουσιαστική και συνεχή ανταλλαγή απόψεων με τους (εξαιρετικά υψηλού επιπέδου) συμμετέχοντες. Από τη συζήτηση αναδείχθηκαν καίρια ζητήματα, όπως η αναγκαιότητα της άμεσης και εξατομικευμένης προσαρμογής του καταστατικού και της λειτουργίας κάθε μίας ΑΕ στις ανάγκες της ίδιας και των μετόχων της. Ακόμη, διερευνήθηκαν οι παρεχόμενες από τον νέο νόμο ευχέρειες σε μια σειρά από κρίσιμα για τους επιχειρηματίες ζητήματα, όπως:

    • Η προστασία του επιχειρηματία και των «ανθρώπων» του
    • Η υποβοήθηση της διαδοχής
    • Η προσέλκυση (φθηνών) επενδυτικών κεφαλαίων
    • Η προσέλκυση και διατήρηση ικανών στελεχών
    • Η μείωση του λειτουργικού κόστους
    • Η αξιοποίηση της τεχνολογίας

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]KOUMENTAKIS & ASSOCIATES presented the new Act on Societe Anonyme to TELCO/WYLTOR. Mr. Stavros Koumentakis, Senior Partner, highlighted the business opportunities emerging after the changes introduced by the new Act on Société Anonyms, presented the new framework and referred in detail to specific provisions, ways on how to protect the client from “internal and external dangers” and on how to utilize the options offered by Act 4548/2019 regarding:

    • Minimizing expenses
    • Attracting and maintaining capable executives
