Our Company Law Department advises our clients on all types of corporate and commercial transactions.
Helping companies find optimal corporate structures is one of our most requested advice. We also advise in connection with the design of business operations, execution of transactions and business reorganisations involving third parties, as well as intergenerational leadership changes in the family in collaboration with the areas of tax and inheritance law.
Charities and other non-profit institutions created by individual founders or high net worth families may serve various purposes of public or private interest, as the case may be. The tax advantages and other operational implications offered by different jurisdictions differ greatly. Therefore, an optimal choice of the place of incorporation and registration is essential.
Among others, our Corporate and Company Law Department is frequently involved in multi-jurisdictional and domestic matters of the following nature:
- Corporate advice in relation to clients’ investment vehicles, including both the design of the investment structure and support in the incorporation and liquidation of companies, corporate operations of all kinds (decrease/increase of share capital, separations of partners…).
