Corporate law

We assist with the establishment of new companies, including the selection of the optimal company form based on the ownership structure, the nature of the business and tax considerations. The services include the preparation of articles of association, registration in the Register of Business Enterprises and the establishment of necessary management documents from start-up. We ensure that the company is established with a solid legal structure that lays the foundation for future growth and financing. We handle changes in company structure, such as conversion from sole proprietorship to limited liability company or reorganization of group structures. The services include mergers, demergers and transfers of business between companies, with a focus on tax optimization and legal certainty. We also assist with changes in articles of association, capital increases and other structural adjustments according to the company's development needs.

We draft shareholder agreements that regulate the relationship between the owners, including provisions on sales restrictions, pre-emption rights and the like. The agreements also cover corporate governance, dividend policy and resolution of conflicts between shareholders. We ensure that the shareholder agreements balance the majority's management rights with the protection of the minority and provide a predictable framework for owner cooperation.

We assist with voluntary and compulsory liquidation of companies, including the assessment of liquidation alternatives and the handling of creditor relations. Our services also include advising bankrupt companies on liability issues for boards and management, as well as assisting creditors in bankruptcy proceedings. We help ensure orderly settlements and minimize legal and financial consequences for the parties involved.

We represent buyers and sellers in transactions ranging from small business acquisitions to complex acquisitions of publicly traded companies. Our services include transaction structuring, due diligence processes, and negotiation of purchase and sale agreements with associated warranties and limitations of liability. We ensure that all regulatory requirements are met and that the transactions are completed in a legally secure manner with optimal risk sharing.
