Recht und Verbraucherschutz/Ausschuss Der Ausschuss für Recht und Verbraucherschutz hat in seiner Sitzung am Mittwoch den Weg für von der Bundesregierung vorgeschlagene Neuregelungen beim Zugang zum Anwaltsnotariat geebnet.

Argentina: Following a public consultation process initiated through IGJ General Resolution No. 2/2026—aimed at identifying the main operational challenges of the existing regime—on May 22, 2026, the Argentine Public Registry of Commerce (Inspección General de Justicia, “IGJ”) issued General Resolution No. 4/2026, which entered into force on May 27, 2026.

Panama: The recent enactment of Law 526 of 2026 introduces changes that are relevant for Panamanian entities that are part of multinational groups, as well as for corporate structures with an international presence. Our Partner in the Panama office has prepared an analysis on the scope of this reform and the key considerations that companies should keep in mind as they move toward its implementation.

New Zealand: The Government’s Budget tax package delivered on 28 May 2026 includes two measures that are particularly relevant for the private wealth sector, including high net worth individuals, founders, investors, and charities. A new NZ$100,000 cap on charitable donations eligible for the donation tax credit and an extension of the Revenue Account Method (RAM) under the Foreign Investment Fund (FIF) rules to all New Zealand taxpayers. While both measures represent significant policy choices, they move in very different directions.

New Zealand: At a recent conference I was sitting on a panel discussing different forms of dispute resolution for construction projects. The final question to me was “If you had to include one special condition in an NZS 391X standard form contract, what would it be?” The answer was simple.

New Zealand: Auckland has a congestion problem, and it is costing us up to $2.6 billion a year. Congested roads mean longer commutes, less time with family, and a significant drag on economic productivity. For decades, successive governments and councils have discussed time-of-use charging as a means of maximising the use of our existing roads and driving behavioural change. Now, it's finally on the horizon.

New Zealand: In this edition of the Echo, we touch on the government’s request for feedback on the employment dispute resolution system (including employment advocates) ahead of a potential overhaul. We also contemplate further questions about the Employment Leave Bill and who is most likely to be affected by the planned changes (assuming they go ahead). Finally, we consider the third instalment on whether a trust can be a PCBU, and what this means for trustees moving forward.

United Arab Emirates: In construction and infrastructure projects, liquidated damages are often treated as a simple equation: Days' delay x daily LD rate = amount payable. But under the new UAE Civil Transactions Law which came into force from 1 June 2026, the position is more nuanced. The LD clause still matters. The agreed daily rate still matters. But what happened on the project may be critical to how an agreed damages provision is applied and assessed. Under Article 340, courts have express powers to review agreed damages. Rather than the discretion to adjust LDs to the actual loss (as in the previous Code), the new Code specifies that LDs may now be reduced where they are excessive, where the works have been partially completed, or where the employer contributed to the delay.

Australia: Responsibility doesn’t disappear with automation, and the risks are changing shape rather than going away. As automated vehicles move closer to everyday use, businesses need to rethink how they manage safety in a more technology-driven environment. This article highlights what organisations operating in Australia should be focusing on now, from system reliability to oversight, and why waiting for clearer rules could leave gaps in how risks are managed.
