Introducing the Vereeniging Handelsrecht's Comprehensive Guide to the New Regulation of Corporate Governance in Private Legal Entities

Join us as we delve into the proposed changes to the governance and supervision of private legal entities outlined in Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. These proposals aim to consolidate and standardize the rules applicable to various types of legal entities within the general provisions of Book 2, while also significantly tightening the regulations governing non-profit organizations such as associations and foundations.

However, these proposed amendments have raised several crucial questions that we aim to address. Firstly, does this consolidation truly benefit all private legal entities, and does it lead to improved regulation? Moreover, does it adequately account for the diverse range of societal interests served by these entities, and consider their varying nature, size, objectives, and activities? What is the relationship between the proposed regulations and extensive sector-specific legislation in fields such as education and healthcare? And finally, do these forthcoming changes sufficiently accommodate the needs of semi-public and non-profit entities that also serve public interests?

In this comprehensive guide, our esteemed contributors will examine the impact of the proposed legislation on various aspects of corporate governance, including:
