It's weird. If you look at a lot of startups ("startups"?) in Germany & Austria, you'll find people with a law background among the founders. I haven't yet figured out why this is the case.


There many are more laws and regulations on businesses in Germany. You probably need a labor law specialist to keep track of them.


How different is the practice of civil law in those countries?


That assumes I know enough about law to be able to tell. :) I do know that Germany has really odd laws about cease & desist notices. (receiver has to reimburse legal costs of the C&D - even though they're probably overblown)
