Commercial and corporate law
Our services
Company incorporation
We advise on the incorporation of your company. From choosing the appropriate corporate form (such as a public limited company, limited liability company (LLC), foundation, general partnership, limited partnership, or sole proprietorship), preparing the documents of incorporation, to registration at the commercial register – we support you at every step. Our goal is to ensure that your company starts legally flawless and successful.
Corporate housekeeping
We help you optimize your corporate housekeeping and create tailor-made inhouse and intra-group contracts. Whether employment contracts, service agreements, loan agreements, or supply contracts within your corporate group – we ensure that all agreements are legally sound and clearly formulated to guarantee smooth processes throughout your group.
Relocation of the registered office
We support you with a legally compliant relocation of your company’s registered office (both to Liechtenstein and from Liechtenstein to another country). From evaluating and deciding on the new location to implementing all necessary legal steps – we stand by your side.
Capital measures (capital increase and decrease)
We advise on all capital measures of your company. Whether it is a capital increase for growth financing or a capital reduction for restructuring – we develop suitable strategies and take care of the legal details to ensure that your company is financially equipped to the optimum.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
We offer legal due diligence to you either as a seller (vendor due diligence) or as a buyer (buyer due diligence) and accompany you through the entire MA process to ensure a successful transaction.
Our legal due diligence, depending on the assignment, includes the careful review of the company structure, existing contracts, ongoing or imminent legal disputes, as well as compliance with relevant laws and regulations. This allows us to identify and bring to your attention potential risks and enables you to make informed decisions. As a buyer, you become aware of potential risks, and as a seller, you have the opportunity to address any weak spots before the transaction is completed.
When drafting and negotiating the purchase agreement (Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) or Asset Purchase Agreement), we ensure that the purchase price, warranties and guarantees, conditions and the execution of the transaction are clearly and legally regulated. A key component of the purchase agreement is to protect the buyer against the risks identified in the due diligence. This can be done, for example, through special liability clauses, rights of withdrawal or price adjustments in order to protect your interests in the best possible way and ensure that all legal requirements are met.
While acquiring or selling a company, we also support you with integrating the acquired company into your existing structure or with restructuring your existing organization.
Trust our experience and expertise to acquire your target or sell your company successfully with us.

We guide you through the whole process of forming joint ventures. From the initial idea, through negotiation, to the implementation of the agreements – we help you forge strategic partnerships that open new growth opportunities and create synergies for your company.
Shareholders' agreements / syndicate agreements
We support you with the drafting and negotiation of shareholders’ agreements. These shareholders’ agreements are crucial for clearly regulating the cooperation and decision-making processes of the shareholders and avoiding conflicts. We ensure that your interests are represented to the best possible manner.
Shareholder disputes
We advise when it comes to shareholder disputes and help you to find solutions. Starting with mediation, through legal advice, to representation in court – we stand by your side to quickly and sustainably resolve conflicts, giving you space to focus on your core business.
Director’s liability (Business Judgment Rule)
We advise you comprehensively on issues regarding director’s liability and the business judgment rule. Our goal is to minimize the liability risks for managing directors and board members and to ensure that your decisions are made in compliance with legal requirements.
Moreover, we support both shareholders as well as managing directors and board members in enforcing and defending related claims.
