In parallel to the handling of legal cases in daily operations, every legal department has knowledge management on the top of its agenda. In an international legal department, an accurate response tailored to the company needs may make the difference between success and failure, noting the difference in needs and resources between small and large departments that are centrally or internationally located. These aspects will be elaborated and opinions will be exchanged in an interactive workshop that will bring new ideas and practical solutions to in-house lawyers.

After more than fifty years, Civil Law in Hungary will be completely rewritten by the New Civil Code that will come into effect this year on the 15th of March. Several areas of law that have formerly been regulated in separate acts will now be incorporated into the new Code. These areas of law include family law, company law, as well as the law regarding civic organizations. Critics say that the new law sacrifices too much for dogmatic integrity and disassembles the unity of corporate law by extending current provisions for companies to all legal entities which will result, in many cases, in incomplete, inconsequent or redundant regulation. On the other hand, the concept of the new law is to provide more freedom to contracting parties. The present article seeks to summarize the ten most important matters that will have the largest influence on businesses.
