The European Company and Financial Law Review (ECFR) is a legal journal that is published four times a year by Verlag Walter de Gruyter and focuses on European corporate and capital market law . It has been published in English since 2004 as an independent sister publication to the Zeitschrift für Unternehmens- und Unternehmensrecht (ZGR), after articles on foreign and European company law had been published in the ZGR since 1992 under the heading European Company Law Review (ECLR).

The group of editors of the ECFR currently includes Holger Fleischer, Jesper Lau Hansen, Maarten J. Kroeze, Hanno Merkt, Andres Recalde Castells, Marco Ventoruzzo and Marieke Wyckaert

The ECFR is published in cooperation with the Dutch magazine Ondernemingsrecht , the Swiss magazine for commercial and financial market law (SZW), the Spanish Revista de Derecho de Sociedades (RdS), the French Revue des sociétés , the Italian Rivista delle società and the Belgian Revue pratique des societies - Tijdschrift voor Rechtsspersoon en vennootschap . There is an editorial advisory board made up of legal scholars from other European countries.

As with the ZGR, special issues are published at irregular intervals that are dedicated to a specific topic. An English-language symposium has been held annually at changing locations since 2006, at which current European challenges in corporate and capital market law are discussed.

Editor dispute

On July 18, 2018, the national press reported that Stephan Harbarth , former member of the Bundestag and current judge at the Federal Constitutional Court , would be "accepted into a particularly distinguished group of law professors" as co-editor of the respected journal for corporate and corporate law (ZGR). Previously, Heribert Hirte , a Cologne deputy and Hamburg university professor, who sits with Harbarth for the CDU in the Bundestag and in the legal committee, was excluded from the group of editors of the ZGR and the European Company and Financial Law Review. The actual and legal requirements for this exclusion are still disputed in court.
