THE FIRM’S
AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Governance – Shareholder relations – Company law

The Business Law department can assist companies with all types of operations throughout the life of a business.

We can therefore support our clients in the incorporation of their companies, and we can advise them on how best to organise their relations with their shareholders and define their governance structure.

We can also assist them with their routine legal transactions and the monitoring of their operations required under company law (annual shareholders’ meetings, etc.).

We also assist our clients in the event of conflicts between shareholders or company officers.

In particular we assist our clients with:

  • Choices of business structures and the incorporation of companies
  • Corporate governance
  • Shareholder arrivals or departures
  • Drafting and negotiation of shareholders’ agreements
  • Management packages
