The work clearly and concisely explains all legal questions that associations face in practice. The author addresses the founding of an association, membership (acquisition and loss of membership, rights of members), the bodies of the association (including the tasks and convening of the general meeting, appointment of the board), as well as its termination through insolvency, liquidation, and transformation. Furthermore, the work provides an overview of association tax law. The accompanying CD includes an audio version of the book (MP3), a selection of the judgments and regulations referenced in the book, practical templates, interactive cases, and a multiple-choice test.
