Corporate Law
Business is about taking risks. Whether you are a start-up, a scale-up or an established name, it is always important to review your company’s structure every now and again. This to keep the risk of personal liability to a minimum and to maximize your chances of growth. This is also the case when you are planning to set up a company or when you already have a company in Belgium.
Company law
A company is not a lonesome planet but consists of shareholders, directors, investors, auditors etc., all parties that do not necessarily have the same interests. Sooner or later, these conflicting interests will lead to discussion and disputes.
To prevent disputes between shareholders, directors, auditors and investors it is always important to make proper arrangements and to lay them down in writing. You could do so with your company’s articles of association or by-laws or a shareholders’ agreement. We will be happy to advise you on the type of arrangement that will suit your company best and will always try to strike the right balance between the interests of the company and those of each individual party.
Is your company a start-up, a scale-up or an established name?
While you already took important steps in terms of its corporate structure, a redesign of that structure can often lead to significant savings or greater efficiency. We offer you advice on the scope for further improvement and assist you throughout the restructuring process.
Obviously, not every problem can be avoided with prior agreements. Sometimes the differences in views between shareholders and directors can be so divergent that they can no longer be reconciled and that the company’s very survival may hang by a thread. Also in situations like these, we have the necessary experience to, in first instance, work out an amicable solution and, in the worst-case scenario, to get matters settled in in court.
