Frequently asked questions
Before we talk about your company
What type of company is best for my business?
The choice requires understanding the project, its partners, the form of management and its growth prospects. We review that background before proposing a structure and bylaws suited to the company.
Can you review contracts with clients and suppliers?
Yes. Our firm reviews and negotiates commercial contracts. We can assess the contract and the context of the transaction, whether as a one-off engagement or as part of ongoing counsel.
How is arbitration assessed compared with an ordinary lawsuit?
We review the existing agreements, the dispute and its background to assess the course of action. Arbitration should not be assumed to always be a faster or cheaper alternative. Our firm represents companies in arbitration proceedings.
What regulatory compliance does my company need?
It depends on its activity and the requirements applicable to it. The review takes into account the company's risks and processes; it is not limited to large organizations. The scope of the advice is defined after learning about your situation.
Are dissolving and liquidating a company the same thing?
They are distinct stages, which must be analyzed according to the company's background. Our firm advises on both processes and reviews the necessary steps before defining the engagement.
Can I retain ongoing counsel or only for a single matter?
Both options are available. Ongoing counsel provides continuous legal support; the one-off option focuses on a specific engagement. The services, coordination and fees are set out in the proposal.
Can you help if there is a conflict between partners?
We review the situation and the corporate agreements to determine how our firm can intervene. Depending on the matter, the inquiry may relate to an amendment, dissolution or liquidation of the company, or to representation in an arbitration proceeding.
What information do you need for a first meeting?
Start with a general description of the company, the inquiry and the relevant dates. After reviewing your request, we can arrange a meeting and ask for bylaws, contracts or other documents depending on the matter. Do not send confidential or sensitive documents or information in the initial form.
