The service at a glance
WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED
An unresolved corporate dispute paralyses the company: accounts are not approved, dividends are not paid and nothing can be sold. The expensive part is rarely the case; it is the time the company spends blocked.
What it includes: analysis of the articles, shareholders' agreements and minutes; challenging resolutions or bringing a liability claim; negotiating an exit or a sale of the shareholding. What it does not include: it does not include an independent expert valuation of the company, quoted separately. Challenging a resolution in court requires a lawyer and a court agent from the network (arts. 23 and 31 of the Civil Procedure Act).
DOCUMENTS YOU WILL NEED
Deed of incorporation and current articles.
Minutes of the relevant meetings and the shareholders' register.
Shareholders' agreements if any.
INDICATIVE TIMING
We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.
Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 7 and 20 working days.
A challenge to corporate resolutions lapses after one year (except those contrary to public policy); the proceedings themselves usually take more than a year.
See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

Frequently asked questions
I AM A MINORITY SHAREHOLDER AND GET NO INFORMATION.
The right to information is enforceable and breaching it can invalidate resolutions. We claim it formally first.
CAN I EXIT THE COMPANY?
In certain cases there is a right of withdrawal. We check against the articles and the accounts.
A DIRECTOR HAS CAUSED LOSS.
A corporate or an individual liability claim is possible. They are different and we explain which fits.
