Companies and Associations

Because we are attorneys and businessmen as well, we understand the needs of business owners better than anyone. You can count on our broad experience and thorough knowledge of corporate law. We will be on your side as from the incorporation of your company to the dissolution. We will help you to use the right company form, make the accurate draft of your articles of association and shareholders agreements.

Mergers and acquisitions will make your business grow. We will be happy to assist you in preparing the transfer of shares or the acquisition of goodwill (letter of intent, non-disclosure agreement, due diligence, …). In addition we will assist you in the negotiations, the drafting of conclusive and unequivocal contracts and legal action in the event of breach of contract.

In the event of a dispute relating to the liability of directors and auditors, disputes between shareholders (leaving the company, exclusion from the company) and other company conflicts we can provide expert knowledge, advice and assistance.
