English summary: Walter G. Paefgen’s academic work focused on entrepreneurial discretionary decisions in stock corporations and their legal reviewability. In doing so, he drew on the extensive case law and literature in the US on the so-called business judgment rule, which was an important source of insight for his analyses. His research always focused on corporate law in all its facets, with international aspects, shaped by his early professional experience in the private sector, playing a particularly important role. This is reflected in his numerous publications, for example on the European Company (SE) or on cross-border issues. The Festschrift brings together a total of 33 articles on current or fundamental issues in commercial law. The articles are based on the main areas of focus of the honoree’s academic work and deal with topics from the entire spectrum of national and international corporate and capital market law, as well as issues of group law, compliance, and corporate acquisitions. German description: Im Zentrum der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit von Walter G. Paefgen standen unternehmerische Ermessensentscheidungen in der Aktiengesellschaft und deren rechtliche Uberprufbarkeit. Dabei griff er auf die umfangreiche Rechtsprechung und Literatur der USA zur sogenannten Business Judgment Rule zuruck, die fur seine Analysen eine bedeutende Erkenntnisquelle darstellte. Sein Forschungsschwerpunkt lag stets auf dem Gesellschaftsrecht in all seinen Facetten, wobei internationale Aspekte, gepragt durch seine fruhen Berufserfahrungen in der freien Wirtschaft, einen besonderen Stellenwert einnahmen. Dies spiegelt sich in seinen zahlreichen Publikationen wider, etwa zur Europaischen Aktiengesellschaft (SE) oder auch zu grenzuberschreitenden Fragestellungen. Die Festschrift versammelt insgesamt 33 Beitrage zu aktuellen oder grundlegenden Fragen des Wirtschaftsrechts. Die Beitrage orientieren sich an den Schwerpunkten des wissenschaftlichen Werks des Jubilars und behandeln Themen aus dem gesamten nationalen und internationalen Gesellschafts- und Kapitalmarktrecht sowie Fragen des Konzernrechts, der Compliance und des Unternehmenskaufs.
