Corporate law
Need a corporate law solicitor? Your specialist in national and international corporate law
Running a business brings opportunities, but also legal risks. Whether you’re setting up a business, entering into a partnership or dealing with a commercial dispute, sound legal advice is essential.
We advise and support entrepreneurs in areas including:
- Are you looking to start a business or enter into a new partnership, such as a joint venture? Or do you need advice on the legal structure of your current business? Our specialists in company law and contract law will advise you on the incorporation and organisation of your business, such as a private limited company (bv), general partnership (vof) or limited partnership (cv). In addition, we help you choose the right legal form and draft key documents, such as shareholders’ agreements, general terms and conditions, and other commercial contracts.
- Has a dispute arisen with shareholders or a business partner, leading to legal proceedings? In that case, our litigation lawyers will assist you, for example in proceedings before the Enterprise Chamber.
- Would you like to acquire a stake in a company, or are you considering buying, selling or restructuring a business? We guide entrepreneurs through every stage of business acquisitions, shareholdings and investments. You can also rely on our expertise when it comes to dissolving or winding up companies.
In addition, we assist business owners with related legal issues that fall within the scope of company law, such as employment law, debt recovery law, insolvency law and tenancy law.
