The current instability of the global climate makes it our duty to maintain avenues of communication. Today’s young lawyers are tomorrow’s leaders, and play a vital role in spreading the ethical, legal and business culture and assisting governments, NGO-s and businesses to deal with the upcoming challenges. Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends, Sehr geehrte Kollegen! It is a pleasure to invite you to Munich, Germany to participate in the 54th International Young Lawyers’ Congress organised by AIJA, where we expect over 600 participants! The event is a unique learning and networking opportunity for all career-building lawyers working on the international scene, and is essential for promoting legal culture and for enhancing cooperation and friendship between lawyers aged 45 and below from all over the world. AIJA is an incredible organisation which not only contributes to making the world a better place through the friendships built here among different cultures and nations, it also helps the participants’ personal and career development and business generation in a very efficient and enjoyable way. In AIJA’s more than half a century of history, this will be the third time that our annual congress returns to “München”, after 1965 and then 1988, the year before the Berlin Wall, “die Berliner Mauer”, came down in Germany and the democratic changes in Central Eastern Europe started. Since then the world has undergone significant political, economic and social changes and the pace of our lives and the demands of München will offer a great setting for the cutting edge scientific and unique social program that the Organising Committee and the Work-Coordinators, with the help of other volunteering AIJA members, have put together. 4 www.aija.org/munich The congress hotel is ideally located within the beautiful English Garden, which is among Europe’s biggest city parks, with a lake at the centre (don’t be surprised to see wetsuits and wakeboards or sun-loving Münchners sunbathing on the lawn with their coats, ties and dresses neatly piled beside them). It’s no surprise that some of the famous beer gardens are conveniently located a few steps away. What more can you ask from a congress hotel in the month of August?! Come and join us to experience the “AIJA Spirit” and to make this a congress to remember! Herzlich willkommen in AIJA, herzlich willkommen in München!

It is our pleasure to welcome young lawyers from all over the world to Munich for the 54th International Young Lawyers’ Congress organized by AIJA taking place between August 23rd and 27th, 2016. Bavaria’s capital is Germany’s third largest city, a stylish metropolis that has nevertheless kept its traditional, almost rural charm. Of course, Munich is best known for the world’s largest beer festival, the “Oktoberfest”. However, you will see there are plenty of other things and places to discover. Munich is also famous for its beautiful architecture, its fine culture and museums. Moreover, the Alps are just a little more than an hour away. Take some days off before or after the Congress to visit Munich, Bavaria and the rest of Germany! We hope we have made you curious enough and are proud to host you in this lovely city of historical sites, in the midst of Bavaria’s abounding natural beauty, and enjoy with you days of intensive and comprehensive scientific work as well as vibrant social life. More information is available at www.aija.org/munich. Furthermore, Munich is one of the leading business hubs, both in Germany and Europe. Companies from every industry and business sector operate here. Global players, dynamic and profitable SMEs, innovative high-tech companies and many more. Our Congress will take place at the Hilton Park Hotel located right next to the English Garden (“Englischer Garten”), the green heart of Munich, a wonderful place to relax, enjoy a beer in one of the beer gardens, watch surfers on the “Eisbach” Creek, or simply stroll around. And don’t miss one of the best views of Munich from the “Monopteros”, a classical pavilion built on a hillside in the midst of the English Garden. We are absolutely sure that the Congress in Munich will bring you as much pleasure as it brings us and are looking forward to seeing you in Munich in 2016! Julia Blind, Mark Oliver Kühn, Oliver Cleblad, Justus Jansen on behalf of the Organising Committee This Congress will inspire you for the quality of more than 50 hours of professional training including a pre-seminar on “effectiveness”, all organised by the 20 AIJA commissions and Julia Blind 7 www.aija.org/munich Mark Oliver Kühn Oliver Cleblad Justus Jansen Introduction to the scientific program by the Work Coordinators It is a great pleasure for us as Work Coordinators to give you a first insight into the scientific programme of the International Young Lawyers’ Congress of AIJA in Munich 2016. Its various workshops and working sessions spread over 5 days, organised by AIJA’s 20 scientific (sub)commissions will allow you to enhance your skills and knowledge. Moreover, you will get to know young lawyers from all over the world to further develop your own network. thirst for knowledge besides offering the possibility to have one or two beers in a shady and relaxing beer garden! AIJA’s commissions of all different fields of law handed in an overwhelming amount of proposals. Of course, this was a work coordinator’s dream for shaping an attractive scientific programme. However, the high quality and number of the commissions’ proposals also had a downside: given the fact that the slots were strictly limited we had to make a choice. We are aware that the present result would not have been possible without the great support and cooperation of all commissions for which we are grateful. Nicolas Mosimann, Christian Presoly, Bernd Hauck Although the scientific programme is nearly finalised, we still have an open ear for your inputs or concerns. Do not hesitate to contact us if there are any queries. See you in Munich for a magnificent congress! Prost! Work Coordinators: Nicolas Mosimann One of the trends of the diversified programme is the obvious need to introduce and discuss new legislation. These slots will definitely enable practitioners to catch up on the latest developments. Another trend seems to be green economy which obviously touches different fields of law being addressed by four commissions. Furthermore, there are numerous joint working sessions offering views on topics from different legal perspectives. All this convinces us that the International Young Lawyers’ Congress in Munich 2016 will quench your Christian Presoly OC Liaison Officer to Work Coordinators: Bernd Hauck 9 www.aija.org/munich Congress Sessions Working Sessions Joint Working Sessions of commissions •Antitrust: “Damage claims in competition matters: The dawn of a new era?” GENERAL REPORTERS: Simone Gambuto, Sebastian Janka • • Corporate Acquisition & Joint Ventures: “Market standards for SPA’s and beyond.” GENERAL REPORTERS: Robrecht Coppens, Karim Maizar, Hendrik Thies Commercial Fraud, International Business Law (IBLC) and Sports Law: “Business, sports and fraud: compliance and risk management.” GENERAL REPORTER: Thomas Ricard • Private Clients (PCC) and Tax Law (TLC): “Asset Protection – How to structure assets in an anonymous way, while meeting the international transparency requirements.” GENERAL REPORTERS: Cosima von Rechteren, Roos Jongeneel •Distribution: “Claims about claims and disclaimers – welcome to the glamorous world of advertising!” GENERAL REPORTER: Kasper Ripken • Skills, Career, Innovation, Leadership and Learning (SCILL) and Corporate Counsel: “Does time control you, or do you control time?
