Corporate and M&A

Corporate

One of the most important prerequisites to start a successful business is choosing an appropriate corporate structure: independent legal entity (for example, limited liability company or joint stock company) or subdivision of the parent company (branch or representative office). That is equally important both for companies entering the new markets independently and for those which rely on experience of a local partner and build up relations with him within a joint venture.

Besides that, corporate law issues are also close connected to day-to-day business of each company (convocation and holding of shareholders' meetings, forming of corporate bodies, amending of foundation documents), as well as further developments (merger with another company or acquisition of shares to take over control) and termination of business (voluntary or compulsory liquidation of the company).
