Most countries of the European Union have already transposed Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law within their legal systems.

19.05.2023 - Alliance: New regulatory hurdles in M&A transactions

In the case of M&A transactions, all participants strive for a quick closing and thus legal certainty in the future. Previously, an M&A transaction was checked ex ante by the responsible competition authorities if certain turnover thresholds were exceeded to determine whether the project would create or strengthen a dominant position. However, this legal certainty is now lost due to the most recent practice and case law of the European Court of Justice (hereinafter referred to as “ECJ”), since, even if the turnover thresholds are not met, there is the possibility of an ex post content review and, if necessary, a reversal obligation.

03.04.2023 - Italy: Holiday Properties - Taxes & Inheritance: Italy

The decision to purchase a holiday home is often made on a wave of emotion, with the exuberance of great memories of a beautiful summer holiday. But however enthusiastic you are about the beauty of your home and its area, it is important to also keep an eye on the costs in order to avoid unpleasant surprises later on leading to “buyer’s remorse”. These start with the ancillary costs of the actual purchase and can continue until the inheritance tax in the case of an inheritance.

In the following article, we review the costs you need to take into account for Italy as they occur on the purchase of the property, during its ongoing use, on its sale or transfer as a gift, or even in the event of inheritance.

13.03.2023 - Alliance: Legally compliant whistleblowing in your company - country update

“Whistleblowing” describes the uncovering of abuses, such as corruption, money laundering, and environmental hazards, by whistleblowers who have acquired insider knowledge due to their professional activity. Whistleblowers must usually accept serious personal or professional disadvantages as a result of their reports.

To protect whistleblowers, the EU already issued the Whistleblowing Directive in 2019. This directive stipulates that enterprises have the obligation to establish channels and procedures to enable reports of abuses and breaches of the law.

13.02.2023 - Foreign Subsidies Regulation: How will new regulation impact and reshape the M&A and public tender offers market?

On 12 January 2023 the Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market (hereinafter: the “FSR Regulation”) has entered into force.

The FSR Regulation, which will apply from 12 July 2023, equips the European Commission (hereinafter: the “Commission”) with new tools preventing distortion in competition of the internal (EU) market resulting from “foreign subsidies” meaning subsidies granted by the non-EU states to the entities operating on the internal market.

31.01.2023 - Alliance: The end of trust-based working hours? Practical effects of the decision of the BAG dated 13/09/2022

With a judgment from 2019, the ECJ had clearly set the direction: From the Working Hours Directive in conjunction with Art. 31 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFR), there is the obligation of the Member States to ensure that employers introduce an “objective, reliable and accessible system that can be used to measure the daily working hours worked by employees”; this follows from the right of employees to effective health protection and compliance with the legally prescribed (weekly and daily) maximum working hours. However, the ECJ had not set a specific deadline for the Member States.

Over three full years, the requirements of the ECJ then remained without any significant practical consequences, with a few exceptions that we will present below on a country-specific basis. And it was probably generally assumed that legislative intervention would be required for the practical implementation of the judgment. However, the German Federal Labour Court has now taken the ball directly and formulated directly from existing law specific obligations incumbent on the employer even without legislative measures.

21.12.2022 - We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

17.11.2022 - Alliance: Is your company a "Gatekeeper"? Digital Markets Act News

The applicable e-commerce policy is over 20 years old. That is why the European Union launched a regulatory package for online platforms a few years ago.

02.11.2022 - Legally compliant whistleblowing in your company - country update in Poland

Poland is still working on a draft of the Whistleblower Protection Act with which the Whistleblowing Directive is intended to be transposed. The draft law is intended to provide legal protection to any person who decides to report breaches, transgressions, or criminal offences in the workplace. A whistleblower can thus be a person who is affiliated with an institution or organisation that commits breaches by virtue not only of an employment contract but by any legal or actual relationship (e.g. as a subcontractor). In addition, the report itself can be made not only during the term of the employment relationship concerned but also before this relationship begins or after it has ended, e.g. due to termination of the employment relationship.

24.10.2022 - Another success for the Public Procurement and Waste Management Law Department of the law firm SDZLEGAL SCHINDHELM

In May 2022, recognizing the arguments of the team of the Public Procurement Law and Waste Management Department of the law firm SDZLEGAL SCHINDHELM, consisting of:

  • Anna Specht-Schampera
  • Aleksandra Płudowska
  • Tomasz Dąbrowski,

The National Board of Appeals has ruled that Warsaw improperly conducted a negotiated procedure for waste collection.

On Friday, October 21, 2022. The Court of Public Procurement dismissed a complaint by the City of Warsaw and the MPO and confirmed that Warsaw could not directly contract out waste collection to its own company, bypassing the bidding procedures, thus finding the application appropriate.

We congratulate the team of the Public Procurement and Waste Management Law Department of the law firm SDZLEGAL SCHINDHELM!

 

19.10.2022 - Alliance: Remote Work: Revolution in the labour market through hybrid forms of working

Working from home, New Work, flexibility, self-organisation, trust-based working hours. These (and other) terms describe what is no longer a vision of the future or a mere phenomenon. Day-to-day working life has fundamentally changed in the last two and a half years at the latest since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, which acted as a catalyst in this respect.

22.09.2022 - Alliance: A bird's eye view of the law: The commercial use of unmanned aircraft

The development and commercialisation of drones is making relentless progress. Due to the wide range of applications and the rapid technical advances, unmanned aircraft – or “UAS” (=Unmanned Aircraft System) for short – are predicted to be a promising future.

01.09.2022 - The end of trust-based working hours in Poland?

In Poland, there is an obligation to record working hours for each employee. Records of working hours affect the payment of remuneration and the determination of rest periods. The most important element to include in each time recording is the number of hours worked by an employee. However, this means that all work hours performed by the employee must be recorded, including work on Sundays and public holidays, night work, overtime and days off resulting from a five-day week.

05.07.2022 - Alliance: What to do if the company is hacked? Actions from a legal perspective.

In case of a hacking attack, unauthorised attackers attempt to access external PCs, notebooks, smartphones, tablets or even entire corporate networks. Since the frequency of such attacks has increased massively in Europe over the past year, in this article we look at the successful hacker attack from the outside, which encrypts the affected systems in such a way that the company can no longer access its system at all.

19.06.2022 - Alliance: New opportunities and threats in sales: revised Vertical Block Exemption Regulation 2022 in force.

The European Commission’s Vertical Block Exemption Regulation (“VBER”), which was previously potentially applicable to distribution, whereby agreements between manufacturers or suppliers and retailers are exempt from the ban on cartels, ceased to be in force on 31/05/2022, because the original period of validity of 12 years was reached.
These new versions bring some changes which relax requirements compared to the previous legal situation, but also tighten requirements, which primarily take into account the area of tension between online/offline sales.

23.05.2022 - Alliance: Digital Revolution & Legal Evolution – copyright and related IP rights in the digital domestic market

Cryptocurrency, big data, artificial intelligence, data theft, cloud, virtual, augmented, or mixed reality, cyber warfare, telemedicine, social media, autonomous driving, Industry 4.0, Criminal Law 4.0, NFTs – these are not the only issues that are bringing about the era of the fourth so-called digital revolution. Each of these digital changes is bringing new challenges to all facets of society – the link between law and technology is one of the biggest. An example that illustrates the special relationship between legal and digital technologies very well are NFTs (non-fungible tokens).

14.04.2022 - Alliance: The current turning point – Force Majeure and loss of the basis for business

The "current turning point" in connection with the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine has not only a political but also perhaps an even greater economic dimension. The sharp rise in the price of raw materials and energy has led to a dramatic increase in costs for companies. The interruption of supply chains often causes production downtimes in industry. Despite all the harmonisation of laws that has taken place in the last 20 to 30 years, especially in the European legal sphere, this issue has remained untouched by efforts at legal standardisation. The reason for this was apparently a lack of topicality. Therefore, with this article, we provide an overview of how this topic is handled legally with regard to three key questions in the respective countries of our partner law firms.

12.04.2022 - Public Procurement Practice listed in prestigious LEGAL500 ranking!

Dear Sirs,

Due to the events that will take place on the territory of Ukraine starting from 24 February 2022 we receive more and more questions related to the possibility of conducting business activity by citizens of Ukraine on the territory of Poland. To meet the expectations, we decided to collect the most frequently asked questions and present them to you in the form of questions and answers (Q&A).

Your Team of SDZLEGAL Schindhelm

01.03.2022 - The commercial use of unmanned aircraft in Poland

09.02.2022 - Alliance: The Digital Service Act and the upcoming reform of the digital services

The proposal aims at better protection of consumer rights in the digital environment and at the joint internal market-related enforcement potential of the EU Member States.

03.01.2022 - Digital Revolution & Legal Evolution in Poland

Regulations concerning computer piracy (CP) are included in criminal law, among other things. According to Art. 278 § 2 of the Act of 6 June 1997 (StGB (Strafgesetzbuch [German Criminal Code])), anyone who appropriates someone else’s computer program in order to gain a financial advantage is also punished with a term of imprisonment intended for theft. At the civil law level, regulations for combating CP are described in the law of 4 Feb. 1994 on copyright and related property rights.

01.01.2022 - Force Majeure and loss of the basis for business in Poland

There are no legal provisions that allow the automatic cancellation of the performance of the contract in the event of circumstances that one party could not foresee. “Force majeure” is not precisely defined in Polish law; the case law only provides for conditions under which a best situation qualifies as force majeure. Contractual provisions are of central importance in difficulties with the performance of the contract. It is possible to obtain in court not only the dissolution of the concluded contract, but also the modification of its terms, such as the manner of performance of obligations or the extent of the scope of performance.

01.04.2021 - NOTICE OF CHANGE IN THE LEGAL FORM OF THE LAW OFFICE

17.02.2021 - Taxation of tenancy income for individual investors

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed many sectors of economy. It is no different for the domestic real estate market. In 2020, two basic trends could be observed in this respect :

1. purchase of real estate to diversify the investment portfolios – especially estates located in cities with high growth potential, intended for sale or rent.

2. increased interest in real estate in the most popular tourist destinations in Poland, intended for short-term rental, possibly cased by the travel restrictions.
