Abstract

Even though the GmbH is an established legal entity that has remained (largely) unchanged for over a century, recent abuses and the pressure of foreign competition has caused the German government to propose significant changes. While not opting for a fundamental and groundbreaking reform, it has put forward a number of smaller modifications that will change the face of the GmbH.
