Corporate law
Company formation, contracts and corporate restructuring.
We advise companies on incorporation, drafting and reviewing contracts and corporate restructuring, so your business runs safely and in compliance.
Forming the company is the first step. Then come the corporate books, minutes, the beneficial ownership filing with the Central Bank, the annual corporate tax, and contracts with partners, clients and suppliers. We handle all of it from the same office.
We work with new companies and with established ones that need to sort out shareholders, change structure or prepare for a sale or an investment.

Common questions
S.A. or S.R.L.?
A sociedad anónima works with shares and a board, and usually suits companies planning to bring in investors. A limited liability company is simpler to run and gives more control over who becomes a partner. We decide based on your case.
What does a company owe every year?
The main items are the corporate tax, the beneficial ownership filing with the Central Bank and the company’s tax obligations. We remind you of each date.
Do you review contracts I already signed or received?
Yes. We review service, distribution, lease, confidentiality and other contracts, and tell you the risks and what to change before signing.
Can you fix a company that was left dormant?
Yes. We check its status at the Registry, bring books and obligations up to date, and tell you whether to keep it or dissolve it.
