    COVID-19: German Act to Mitigate the Consequences of the Pandemic
    2020-03-30

    Impact of the Covid 19 pandemic: Further assistance from the German Government
    2020-03-25

    What is new?

    Despite the substantial scope of the first package of measures from the German government, the establishment of a "protective shield for employees and companies", it had already become clear that further measures would be necessary to mitigate the effects of the Covid 19 pandemic on the German economy (for the first package, see our newsletter of 18 March 2020).

    Which steps is Germany taking to respond to COVID-19 and assist potentially stressed/distressed companies?
    2020-03-20

    Due to its constitutional and legal system, Germany is different from a number of other countries around the world. Measures fighting the spread of COVID-19 in Germany cannot be taken at the central government level in Berlin (Bundesregierung) but have to be taken by the governments of the 16 states (Landesregierungen), which constitute the Federal Republic of Germany.

    However, in recent days the Prime Ministers of the 16 German states have coordinated their action closely with each other and with the central German government.

    Corona-Virus: Unternehmen unter Quarantäne - was tun?
    2020-02-28

    Das Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 hat Deutschland infiziert. Auch solide Unternehmen drohen in Folge dessen unverschuldet in die Krise zu stürzen. Während die operativen Tätigkeiten aufgrund der Isolierung ganzer Belegschaften oder gesprengten Lieferketten vorübergehend eingestellt werden, bleiben Verbindlichkeiten wie Miete, Gehälter, Sozialabgaben und Kapitaldienst in rechtlicher Hinsicht gegen das Coronavirus immun. Fortlaufende Fixkosten denen kein operatives Ergebnis gegenübersteht, belasten die Liquidität und stellen einen existenzbedrohenden Angriff für jede Unternehmensfinanzierung dar.
