First and foremost, we want to take this opportunity to thank the previous ALF Board and our advisor, Anja Eleveld, for helping us transition into our new roles. Through these past months, we have tried to utilise the unique experiences of our editors to contribute to our publication, increase our reach, and decide on a conference theme. We are happy to announce that this summer, we will be organising the second annual ALF Conference and publishing the accompanying issue on the theme of Corporations and International Law. In the age of globalisation and minimisation of barriers to trade, the increasing presence of corporations and their activities can be felt throughout the world. Thus corporations may fall under varying national jurisdictions and under the scope of international law. Now more than ever, corporations must ensure that they are abiding by international measures to ensure the safety and protection not only of their consumers and investors, but also of their workers and suppliers worldwide.

The focus of this season's contributions is on themes varying from the field of the European Union (EU) law, to several topics concerning international criminal law. The first contribution to this publication is a scientific article by Maria Domina Repiquett, a Ph.D. student at the University of Strasbourg. Repiquet's article analyses the recent reforms of a limited partnership used for structuring alternative investment funds. The introduction of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (2011) has prompted the European Union (EU) Member States to modernise their legal structures to get ahead of an increasing competition as a leading fund and fund manager domicile in the United Kingdom (UK) (2017), Luxembourg (2013) and France (2015) and argues that the UK Private Fund Limited Partnership is the most competitive legal structure in terms of management rights accorded to investors and tax-transparency. Luxembourg provides an equally competitive limited partnership model, which will be used extensively by fund managers and
