Corporate law

We design governance arrangements that allocate control, decision-making powers and accountability with precision. Corporate law is considered together with tax, transaction strategy and the owners’ long-term objectives.

Scope of advice

• company formations, ownership structures and governance frameworks
• articles of association, statutes and shareholders’ agreements
• joint ventures and strategic cooperation arrangements
• mergers, demergers, conversions and reorganisations
• capital increases and reductions, shareholder funding and distributions
• reserved matters, representation and decision-making procedures
• shareholder and general meetings, resolutions and corporate records
• shareholder disputes, exits and settlements
• liability of directors, supervisory boards and senior management
• KRS and beneficial ownership filings, and selected AML, privacy and compliance matters
• liquidations and orderly wind-downs
• ongoing corporate advice to owners and management boards

A corporate structure that reflects how the business actually operates

We treat corporate law as a framework for relationships between owners, management and investors. Each solution takes account of tax consequences, personal liability, contemplated transactions and the owners’ longer-term plans.
