'The Contractual Participation of Third Parties in the Profit of the GmbH': The thesis examines the conditions under which a limited liability company (GmbH) can allow persons other than its shareholders to participate in its profits by contract. In particular, the compatibility of a contractual profit participation with the German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbHG) as well as the analogous applicability of regulations of German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) are discussed.
