Swarm financing and crowdlending

This year's online symposium was entitled 'Swarm financing and crowdlending under the new ESCP legislation'.

The symposium opened with a welcome address by Prof. Dr. Petra Buck-Heeb.

This was followed by a presentation on legal policy by Dr. Jörg Kukies, who discussed, among other things, personal liability under the German Accompanying Act.

Dr. Jens Engelmann-Pilger discussed the opportunities and risks for SMEs and investors as well as the scope and definitions of the ECSP Regulation.

Shortly before the end of the symposium, the topic of investor protection was taken up and discussed in more detail.

We would like to thank all the co-organisers, speakers and participants for the interesting and informative discussions - this online symposium was a major step forward in the academic, legal policy and legal practice penetration of crowdfunding in Germany.
