It is still summer

Unlike many others, we still consider August as one of the summer which means that we still emphazise on spending most of the days outside loading the batteries. Though, who has already returned to the business routines, then below you'll find some enjoable extras to include to your schedules.  

 

Enjoy!

my conference 

Business morning

"What drives the value of a company?"

 

Thursday, August 25, 09:15-11:30

Clarion Hotel Europa

 

Now when Estonia has joined the euro zone, many Estonian companies will be targeting growth through acquisition over the next years, making it the perfect time to realise the value of a business. Selling a business is not easy and will take time, patience and a lot of coffee. To maximise the value of a business, companies need to be well prepared.

 

 The goal of this Business Morning is to discuss about 

the important factors maximising the value of a business

- what are Nordic investors looking for?

- what can be done to improve the attractiveness from a foreign investor's point of view?

- how to prepare yourself and your business properly for M&A?

Business breakfast

"What does the employer need to know 

about personal data?"

 

Wednesday, August 31, 08:30-10:00

MAQS Law Firm

 

In an employment relationship, every employer handles employees' personal data. Personal data processing is the integral part of employment relationship. The period of employment includes various situations where a prior written consent is not needed. For instance, does the employer have a right to check its employees' work related e-mails and what kind of limitations is set for using surveillance devices (security cameras, GPS)? Can the recordings of security cameras be used in case of violation of work obligations? These and many other situations tat surface from the employment relationship deal with personal data processing. The recently published guide "Personal data in employment relationship" by the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate will also be introduced.

 

Registration information:

Register before August 22 by e-mail to seminar@ee.maqs.com

Breakfast is served during the seminar.
