Diversity lecture series: #stayonboard: The Temporary Suspension of Board Positions in German Corporate Law
News from Oct 23, 2024
The temporary suspension of board positions, introduced by the Act to Supplement and Amend the Rules for Equal Participation of Women in Leadership Positions (FüPoG II), allows executive board members and managing directors in certain life situations, such as maternity leave, parental leave, care for family members, or illness, to have their appointment temporarily revoked and be reappointed at a later time. The law stems from the #stayonboard initiative, with Dr. Tobias de Raet (partner at law form lindenpartners, Berlin) being one of the co-initiators of this initiative. He will illustrate the history behind this regulation, its application to various legal forms and corporate bodies, as well as the challenges and practical implications in corporate practice.
As part of the lecture series on diversity issues organised by Prof. Armbrüster and Prof. Hartmann, this lecture will take place on Wednesday, 20 November 2024 at 9:30 a.m. in Lecture Hall III (Van't-Hoff-Str. 8).
All members of the faculty are cordially invited.
