Our events/conferences

During this PwC Legal webcast, the speakers will describe the key statutory and extra-statutory clauses aimed at restricting the transfer of shares in public limited liability companies or private limited liability companies. After this PwC Legal webcast, all participants should clearly understand certain clauses such as lock-up clauses, pre-emption rights clauses (including their different variations, such as right of first offer and right of first refusal clauses) and approval clauses. All participants should also understand why, when and how to use such clauses (i.e. alone or in conjunction) and the terms and conditions governing their validity and enforceability under Luxembourg Law.

A general framework preventing discrimination in all aspects of the employment relationship has been enacted in Luxembourg 15 years ago. The principles are clear and well-known, but their practical implementation in the context of daily HR practices and policies is not always considered and raises numerous questions of interpretation:

• How to assess "equal pay for equal work" between men and women?
• Is it admissible to prorate annual bonus for employees who have been on maternity leave?
• Does the prohibition of religious signs at the workplace constitute discrimination?
• At which point making an elderly employee redundant may be construed as a discrimination based on age?

These are some of the questions that we will discuss in the course of the conference, highlighting notably relevant court decisions and practical examples. We will also outline the legal exposure for both the company and the individuals in the event of discriminatory HR practices and the course of action in the event of a discrimination claim.

Regulatory and Tax Aspects: During that webcast, we will walk you through the fundamentals of the Luxembourg investment funds toolbox, presenting the various regulatory regimes applicable, the service providers that are generally involved and the general tax regimes applicable to Luxembourg investment funds.
