Corporate and Commercial Law
We provide the legal advice and support companies need in their day-to-day operations and commercial transactions.
The legal needs of joint stock and limited companies rarely arise from isolated transactions. More often they accumulate through day-to-day decisions. Our corporate practice is therefore not limited to moments of crisis.
We support companies across incorporation, board and general assembly decisions, share transfers and commercial transactions, so that decisions are taken on solid legal ground.
What we do in this area
Company formation and structuring
We assist with the incorporation of joint stock and limited companies, changes of type and the structuring of shareholding.
Board and general assembly decisions
We advise on running decision-making processes in line with the articles of association and applicable rules.
Share transfers and shareholder relations
We support the regulation of share transfers, relations between shareholders and rights arising from shareholding.
Commercial transactions and day-to-day advice
We provide fast, workable answers to legal questions arising in day-to-day business.
Points we take into account
- Keeping the articles of association and internal guidelines up to date prevents disputes later on.
- Documenting decisions properly also strengthens credibility in commercial relationships.
- Legal assessments are more accurate when considered alongside the company's commercial objectives.
Common questions in this area
One-off advice focuses on a specific question, while ongoing consultancy follows a company's daily decisions regularly and prevents risk from accumulating.
Reviewing general assembly and board decisions, share transfers and significant commercial contracts in advance reduces problems that may arise later.
