Workshop Gender and Private International Law (GaP) May 6-7, 2021
The transdisciplinary research project on gender and private international law, which held its kickoff meeting in November 2019 followed by a reading group in Hamburg, will now hold its (postponed) big workshop on May 6-7, 2021. Over the past two years we have worked to create a transdisciplinary field of study at the intersection of feminist and gender studies and private international law. The workshop will establish cross-teaching between disciplines. It will consist of discussion groups covering the pressing topics of transnational surrogacy, the interaction between Western and Islamic family law, and the transnational regulation of queer families. Cyra Choudhury (Florida International University), Susanne Gössl (Kiel), Vanja Hamzic (SOAS London), Elisabeth Holzleithner (Vienna), Rosario Espinosa Calabuig (Valencia), and Nadjma Yassari (MPI Hamburg) have agreed to be the convenors.
If you are interested in joining us in May, please send your application by April 2, 2021 at gender@mpipriv.de. You can find the full Call for Applications here. For more information about the project, please visit https://www.mpipriv.de/gender.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at gender@mpipriv.de if you have any further questions.
We look forward to seeing you at the workshop!

Webinar: Brexit and International Business Law/ Brexit e diritto del commercio internazionale
by Fabrizio Marrella
Event: Brexit and International Business Law/ Brexit e diritto del commercio internazionale
When: 26 March 2021, at 14.30 CET
How: Free access upon enrolment by sending an email at fondazione@ordineavvocatifirenze.eu the contact person is: Ms. Giovanna Tello.
Working languages: English and Italian with no simultaneous translation.
Short description: Webinar on the most relevant legal profiles following the process following the Referendum of 23 June 2016, which led to BREXIT on 31 January 2020. The end of the transitional period on 31 December 2020 led to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”) of 24 December 2020 which avoided the “No Deal”. Since January 1st, 2021, the United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU’s customs and tax territory. The TCA creates a free trade area for goods without extra duties or quotas for products, but introduces new rules on rules of origin and labelling of Italian products exported to the United Kingdom as well as new rules for online international sales contracts. The TCA does not clearly regulate the area of financial services, nor it provides detailed regulation for automatic mutual recognition of professional qualifications. All in all, Brexit and TCA require an assessment of current and future international commercial contracts between EU and British companies as well as an evaluation of civil and commercial dispute resolution tools, including arbitration.
