We provide comprehensive advice to companies, shareholders, investors, founders, and corporate bodies on all the questions regarding corporate and partnership law. We advise our clients on issues relating to the formation of companies, changes in the shareholder structure, corporate and / or financial restructuring, up to the sale or liquidation of the company.
