On 7 June 2024, the Central European Academy will organise a conference entitled \"Instruments for preserving the unity of family businesses and agricultural assets - perspectives of legal history\", with the collaboration of the Ferenc M\u00e1dl Institute of Comparative Law, the Central European Comparative Law Association and the Hungarian Comparative Law Association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conference will examine from a legal-historical perspective the tools used to preserve the integrity of family farm or business assets. The aim is to identify the techniques used in different states to prevent the fragmentation of family property, to preserve the family character of the business and to keep it in family hands. These can be created by regulation (by the legislature), by contract or by asset management structures. The fundamental aim of the conference and research is to identify possible historical models and what can be legally transposed into 21st century law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
