COM­PANY AND COR­POR­ATE LAW

Com­pany law-related mat­ters, such as those that arise in the found­ing, reor­gan­isa­tion and dis­sol­u­tion of busi­nesses, have long played a cent­ral role in our day-to-day coun­selling prac­tice. Exper­i­ence makes the dif­fer­ence: pro­cesses in busi­ness devel­op­ment are com­plex and require spe­cial know­ledge of both the leg­al and eco­nom­ic relationships.

Through spe­cial­ist law­yer-related spe­cial­isa­tion in com­mer­cial and com­pany law, as well as fur­ther rel­ev­ant leg­al fields, you are in good hands with us as a busi­ness own­er in every respect. Our firm fully sup­ports you in all leg­al mat­ters of busi­ness devel­op­ment and oper­a­tion­al day-to-day busi­ness. We rep­res­ent you both extraju­di­cially and in judi­cial proceedings.

We have par­tic­u­lar expert­ise in the area of trans­form­a­tion law, such as in regard to mat­ters of tax-neut­ral changes in leg­al form from a part­ner­ship to an incor­por­ated com­pany or the reverse. Like­wise in the case of mer­gers of incor­por­ated com­pan­ies and part­ner­ships and all leg­al trans­ac­tions asso­ci­ated with these. We also offer you advice on mat­ters of rep­res­ent­a­tion of a com­pany as well as the liab­il­ity of cor­por­ate bodies.

We even sup­port you in the pur­chase and sale of com­mer­cial trans­ac­tions, busi­nesses and share­hold­ings, as well as in the pro­cure­ment of cap­it­al. We are also happy to assist you in Com­mer­cial Register regis­tra­tion and dere­gis­tra­tion formalities.
