European Company Statute

The European Company Statute (Societas Europaea or SE) is a legal framework that allows companies from different EU countries to operate under a single, unified law across multiple member states. It simplifies the process of establishing, managing, and re-structuring large, cross-border companies by providing a common legal foundation, promoting easier mergers and collaborations within the EU. The SE status offers flexibility in organization and governance, while respecting national laws where applicable. Overall, it aims to facilitate seamless business operations across Europe, encouraging growth, investment, and integration within the internal market.
