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.
