CORPORATE LAW

We advise a broad range of companies in their daily corporate life, starting with helping our clients choose the right structure to best fulfill their needs by assessing the applicable regulatory and capital constraints, the tax environment, the intended involvement of shareholders in the business, and the risks. We also assist corporate clients in preparing shareholders and board meetings as well as in ensuring compliance with all regulatory obligations such as those applicable in audit and accounting as well as completing the regulatory filings of state-supervised enterprises.

M&A

We facilitate transactions for our client by seeking practical, creative and innovative solutions while defending sound positions as efficiently as possible. We are passionate about complex transactions involving multiple jurisdictions, debt and equity financing, untested legal questions and human issues that call for the combination of excellent legal skills, hard work, risk assessment, planning, strategy, project management and leadership. We offer our clients due diligence services, contract negotiation and drafting, structuring memoranda and all ancillary services. We are also very comfortable in understanding complex accounting and corporate finance issues.
