The cross-border conversion of companies, introduced to Directive 2017/1132 of 14.6.2017 relating to certain aspects of company law by the amendment made through Directive 2019/2121,1 establishes a harmonized legal framework enabling companies to transfer their registered office to another Member State. This paper aims to analyze the premises of cross-border conversion and the
legal effects of said conversion. During the transfer of a registered office, the legal and economic positions of shareholders, employees, and creditors may be affected. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the protection mechanisms afforded to these groups under European Union law.
