The practice
Good paperwork is cheap. Court is not.
This desk keeps companies on the right side of that sentence: incorporation and statutes, shareholder agreements, the daily contracts a business stands on, board and general-meeting formalities, the purchase and sale of companies, and restructurings when the shape no longer fits the business.
The philosophy is simple: the contract you will one day argue about is the one being signed today, so we write every clause assuming its worst day in court. And because company law rarely travels alone, the accounting and tax desks sit in the same office — one file, one team, no phone tag between your advisors.
What we cover
The life of a company
Six moments where the legal side decides more than it seems — and where arriving prepared is worth real money.
Day one
Incorporation done fully: statutes that fit the real project rather than the template, registry, tax setup and licences mapped before the first invoice.
The rules between partners
The shareholder agreement — majorities, exits, deadlock, what happens when someone wants out. The cheapest insurance a company can buy.
The daily contracts
Supply, services, distribution, agency: the documents your invoices stand on, written to survive a bad quarter, not just a good signing dinner.
The board & the minutes
Meetings called correctly, resolutions that hold, directors who know exactly where their personal liability begins — before it does.
The deal
Buying or selling a company: due diligence, price mechanics, warranties. The deal is shaped before the handshake hardens — that is when we earn our fee.
The dispute
When partners collide: valuation, buy-outs, mediation — and litigation when the agreement becomes the only language left.
The route
A company's arc, kept in order
The structure
Form, statutes and the partners' agreement — decided for the project you actually have, not the standard one.
The papers
The contracts that run the trade, reviewed once and used a hundred times. Your standard terms become an asset.
The growth
New partners, financing, acquisitions — each move papered so the next one stays possible.
The exit
Sale, succession or orderly dissolution. Companies end well when the ending was drafted early.
Commercial Law questions
Before you ask
How long does incorporating a company take?
With the name, partners and capital decided, it is a matter of days to a few weeks: name certificate, notary, registry, tax registrations. We run the whole circuit and hand you a company ready to operate — bank account, books and obligations mapped.
Do partners really need a shareholder agreement?
The companies that end up in court are, almost without exception, the ones without one. Agreeing the rules while everyone is still friends costs a meeting; disagreeing later without rules costs the company.
Can you review the contracts we already use?
Yes — and it is one of the highest-return jobs we do. One pass over your standard terms, quotes and order forms fixes the same weak clause in every future deal at once.
We are two partners at 50/50 and we disagree. What are my options?
More than it feels like from inside: the agreement's deadlock mechanics, an agreed valuation, a buy-out, mediation — and, as the true last resort, the exit routes company law itself provides. We map them before positions harden.
Do you handle the tax and accounting side of a deal too?
Under the same roof: the tax and accounting desks model the numbers while this one drafts the clauses. You get one coordinated answer instead of three opinions that never met.
