Corporate law
Corporate law covers the day-to-day running of a company — from incorporation and commercial register filings through contracts and corporate decisions to changes in the ownership structure. The goal is to keep the corporate housekeeping in order before it becomes a problem during an audit, a sale or a dispute.
Who it is for
- You are incorporating a company or joining an existing one
- You are changing a director, shareholder or registered capital
- You need contract templates that hold up in a dispute
- You are preparing the company for an investor or a sale
Key areas of work
- Company formation and registration
- Commercial register filings (directors, shareholders, capital, seat)
- Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts
- Corporate governance and corporate decision-making
- Employment law matters
- Compliance and regulatory requirements
- Dispute resolution and arbitration
How we handle it
We advise on incorporation, ownership structuring, drafting and negotiating contracts, and meeting regulatory requirements. Most of the problems that later cost money originate in documents nobody paid attention to at the moment they were signed.
We work so that you get a decision, not just a legal memo. We identify which risk is real and which merely slows the process down, and propose wording that holds up even when the relationship with the counterparty deteriorates.
Frequently asked questions
How does a lawyer help with a change of director or shareholder?
＋
For a transfer of a shareholding, a contract with certified signatures is no longer enough — under the current rules the contract must either be authorised by an attorney or executed as a notarial deed; which form applies depends on whether the company has a single shareholder or several. A lawyer sets the terms of the transfer, uncovers the risks that would otherwise surface only during a sale or a dispute, and guides you through the whole process — or handles it for you from drafting the documents to the commercial register filing.
How long does it take to incorporate a limited liability company?
＋
It depends on how complete the documents are and on the workload of the registry court. With complete documents it is usually a matter of days rather than weeks. You will get a specific estimate for your case during the initial consultation.
Does corporate law also cover relations between shareholders?
＋
Yes, and it is one of the most important parts. The articles of association and the shareholders' agreement determine how decisions are made in a deadlock, how a shareholder can exit and at what price. This is exactly what proves decisive in conflicts.
