Corporate law
Corporate law (commercial) has a significant impact on the operations of partnerships and companies, such as their efficient, safe and effective management. Ignorance of legal regulations in this field entails a number of risks that are of business, financial and legal nature.
Due to our many years’ experience, we are able to provide the commercial partnerships and companies with the professional legal assistance. We provide our services starting from the selection of the optimal form of business activity, including the significant tax and business aspects, through ongoing counseling during the enterprise operations to the possible ending of its activities.
We help in matters concerning corporate governance, handling of the general meetings and meeting of the company’s bodies, e.g. through preparation of resolutions, minutes, notifications. We support entrepreneurs in adjusting their activities to the changing legal environment, as well as in any reorganizations and corporate restructuring. We represent our clients in registration procedures connected with corporate processes.
