Der aktive Gesellschafterkreis anwaltlicher Berufsausübungsgesellschaften

After the Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) already declared §§ 59a, 59e, 59f BRAO partially unconstitutional in two decisions in 2014 and 2016 – thus giving new momentum to the discussion on interprofessional cooperation that has been going on for decades – the legislator is now ready to act through a major legal reform to correct these provisions, among others. This thesis is devoted to this aspect of the reform project, namely the question of the extent to which the circle of partners in law firms should be opened up to previously excluded professional groups and how to proceed in the future with regard to the structural majorities (still) prescribed by law.
