Main themes

The subject of the course is the company, as a social institution and as an economic agent which endeavours to achieve the ideal form, structure and organization in the marketplace. This implies, in particular, the acquisition of a thorough knowledge of the rules as applied in practice by the decision-making bodies and management of a business which has a legal company structure second to none, as well as appropriate policies for any reorganization and/or the mobility of the business. The question of the financing of the company and the resources available is also important. Moreover, the student is made aware of how any transformation in company structure, in the context of the "new economy", is often accompanied by an increased flexibility in the organization of work, which the employment regulations take into account. Employment law provides for information procedures and consultations prior to any restructuring. Furthermore, outsourcing, the recourse to forms of subcontracting or the collaboration of freelancers ("parasubordination") is a legal reality that coexists with work under an employment contract. This course on company law enables the student to better understand these developments. For example, the company law covers the following topics: - notion and characteristics of a company; - legal structures and governance of the company; - company reorganization and restructuration ; - guidance and protection of a company in difficulty; - business assets; - fixed and intangible company assets; - company financing; - intangible elements within the company; - the transparency (financial information and data in the accounts); - the compliance by the company with social rights and revenue requirements; - the legal framework governing the contractual arrangements carried out within the same corporate network; - a description of techniques and constraints governing outsourcing, subcontracting and freelance work.
