Business law

A legal business structure should work today while helping manage risk, attract investment, organise partner relations and prepare for change.

Business decisions are assessed together with their legal and economic consequences

We advise on company formation and governance, shareholders’ agreements, transactions, business separation, reorganisations and international structures.

The work covers not only the document but the full logic of the solution: control, funding, allocation of risk, deadlock, exit and implementation.

01

Company formation and governance

Choice of legal form, articles, management bodies, representation, decision-making and information rights.

02

Shareholder and partner agreements

Voting, funding, distributions, transfers, non-compete obligations, exits and deadlock resolution.

03

Transactions, reorganisations and separation

Share and asset transactions, mergers, divisions, conversions, separation of business lines and preparation for sale.

04

International business structures

Coordination of foreign company formation and governance with legal and tax advisers in the relevant jurisdiction.
