Making city centers more attractive – but how?

The IHK Karlsruhe organized a symposium on this topic on 22.11.2022, at which our partner, lawyer Dr. Alexander Hoff, gave a lecture.

Dying retail trade, precarious housing situations, neglected building fabric and deficiencies in safety and order – many municipalities complain that their city centers are affected. What to do?

Alexander Hoff outlined the legal options available to stop the decline and make city centers more attractive. The audience was particularly interested in the possibility of improving the attractiveness of certain neighbourhoods through self-organized neighbourhood communities of owners and also taking advantage of government assistance.

A big thank you to the IHK’s real estate and location development working group for taking on this important topic of inner city design!

Real estate and city centers – IHK Karlsruhe event

What are the prospects for inner-city commercial units? Vacant retail spaces, falling visitor numbers in city centers and deserted town centers – the pandemic has greatly accelerated this transformation process.

“If Mary and Joseph had known!” Short presentations by Bartsch Rechtsanwälte

On 10.11.2022, our new short lecture series on employment law entitled “If Mary and Joseph had known! Employment law under the Christmas tree” at the Buhlsche Mühle in Ettlingen. The six-person team, consisting of attorneys Ina Bender, Diana Lipska and Alexandra Steg as well as attorneys Dr. Alexander Hoff, Dr. Reinhard Möller and Dr. Gerhard Wagner, presented current and exciting topics in employment law in a cozy atmosphere. The special feature here was not only the unusual presentation format, but also the parallel to the Christmas story, which was skillfully drawn by the speakers in their presentations and provided smiles and laughter in many places. The audience not only enjoyed a highly informative evening, but also an entertaining, cozy and relaxed atmosphere in a wintery, pre-Christmas mood. Thanks to the cold temperatures of the evening, the first mulled wine of the year in the outdoor area tasted particularly good for many guests.

We are already looking forward to our “Anglühen” next year and hope that we can not only inspire our guests again, but also enchant them!

Bartsch Attorneys at Law in Lisbon

Especially in times of crisis, entrepreneurs often have to make quick decisions that need to be legally sound. This challenge is all the greater the more international the company is, as many special features of commercial law in different countries have to be taken into account. Advoselect member law firms are able to support their clients in a special way because they can draw on a broad European network of experts in commercial law in the background. The Advoselect fall conference, which this time took place at member law firm PLMJ Advogados in Lisbon, focused on even more intensive networking between law firms.

“In view of current developments, optimal international networking has become even more important for leading commercial law firms and their clients,” says Viktoria Maruschka, CEO of Advoselect Service AG. “Speed is more important than ever, as there is currently a great deal of momentum in many European countries on important issues of commercial law.” In order to meet the new challenges in the best possible way, the Advoselect network presented and officially launched a new app at the fall conference in Lisbon. “The app developed especially for Advoselect will enable law firms and their professionals to network even more closely across Europe, to work together on current topics and to further deepen the professional exchange on current legislation and the latest rulings.” Clients can also use the new Advoselect app free of charge: The new digital service for entrepreneurs in Europe offers the latest news, an extensive knowledge base, all member law firms with their specialist expertise at a glance, documents to download, recordings of webinars, podcasts on all aspects of commercial law and much more.

The fall conference in Portugal also saw the launch of other new services that Advoselect will soon be offering. This includes an overview of real estate acquisition issues in the various European countries. “As part of the ‘Business in Europe’ series, the construction and real estate law working group at Advoselect intends to develop a corresponding guide in the coming months, which will support entrepreneurs when acquiring real estate in other European countries,” says Viktoria Maruschka. In the other specialist committees, current judgments and issues relating to legislation in the areas of company law, employment law, insolvency law and international arbitration and procedural law were discussed. In the latter committee, the focus this time was primarily on arbitration proceedings with a sanctioned party, particularly with regard to Russia. The multi-day event was hosted this time by PLMJ Avogados in Lisbon, which also offered a varied program to accompany the conference – including a special tuk-tuk ride through Old Lisbon. The leading Portuguese commercial law firm PLMJ is the largest member firm of the Advoselect network with more than 50 partners, more than 150 professionals and 400 employees in seven countries.

38th HR decision-maker network meeting on the MS Karlsruhe

On 29.09.2022, the network meeting of erste reserve personalservice spreen GmbH took place for the 38th time.

Under the motto “Full speed ahead: strategies for a successful crew”, lawyer Dr. Möller spoke, as in previous years, on an employment law topic based on the motto – this time on the perennial topic of “Troublemakers in the team. The right way to deal with obstructionists and naysayers.”

In keeping with the motto, we went on a round trip on the Rhine on the MS Karlsruhe passenger ship. The topic of “time recording”, which has gained considerable interest due to the decision of the Federal Labor Court of 13.09.2022, was not neglected.

After the presentations, there was plenty of opportunity to network on deck over delicacies from the galley and make new contacts here and there.
