The G20 Young Entrepreneurs´ Alliance — a strong international voice against youth unemployment

May 12, 2017 Carsten Lexa Leave a comment

What is the result of a combination of low rates of growth, high level of youth unemployment and an increasingly younger population in a country? An increasingly troubling economic outlook! That´s what the G20 members have faced for the past several years and in parts still face today. Therefore, the question that has to be answered is this: what policies can G20 governments adopt to address youth joblessness and disengagement and as a result encourage growth in their countries? Many economies that are rapidly developing face the challenge of finding work for large numbers of young people who will soon enter the workforce. Who can provide an answer to the challenge of youth unemployment?

August 30, 2015 Carsten Lexa Leave a comment

Unfortunately, many business owners despair at this situation and therefore neglect the careful design of a useful contract – with the attitude: “Everythings gonna be all right ….”. A fatal attitude!

Why it is difficult to find good managers

February 4, 2015 Carsten Lexa Leave a comment

As a law firm with a focus on commercial and corporate law and contract design we had the chance to experience a lot of managers in various positions in companies. Some of them really impressed us and that made us curious about the secret of “good managers”. Therefore we spoke to a lot of company owners, experienced managers and also

A contract is a “good” contract, if…

January 6, 2015 Carsten Lexa Leave a comment

Contract negotiations are a demanding but also fascinating part in a project, no matter what the project is. A “good” contract as the result of the negotiations improves the relationship between the parties and ensures a high quality performance on both sides. Many people, however, do not pay attention to the contract to be signed because they think it is

The lack of a start-up culture in Germany and how to change that!

January 2, 2015 Carsten Lexa Leave a comment

A vibrant entrepreneurial culture is an important part of the business environment in every country – and that is particularly true for Germany. To encourage more people to start a business society must succeed – as a basis for further steps – in improving the public opinion about start-up entrepreneurs (and about entrepreneurs in general) so that entrepreneurship becomes a legitimate, respected and desirable option as a career opportunity.
