Commercial law

Commercial law forms the foundation of every business. From company formation, through the management of commercial relationships, to sophisticated corporate structures – high-quality legal solutions underpin stability, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability. In an era of globalization, digitalization, and dynamic regulation, top-tier legal advisory services are a key prerequisite for secure growth and the exploitation of strategic opportunities.

Our approach

We view commercial law as a tool for business development. Our ambition is to create legal frameworks that support your commercial objectives, enable flexibility in expansion, and protect the value of your business. We combine the precision of legal expertise with commercial acumen and the ability to communicate in the language of top management. Each solution is designed to be not only legally accurate but also commercially sustainable and practically implementable.

Key areas of practice

We provide comprehensive corporate advisory services from company formation to liquidation. We prepare and negotiate commercial agreements ranging from standard contracts to complex, multi-layered transactional documentation. We address corporate governance issues, shareholder relations, and regulatory compliance. We design distribution networks, franchise models, and structure strategic partnerships. We ensure ongoing corporate support and administration for the stable operation of companies.

Added value for your business

We create scalable structures for startups that are ready for investment rounds, expansion, and onboarding of investors. For small and medium-sized enterprises, we provide solutions that optimize costs and minimize risks without unnecessary administrative burden. For international corporations, we establish robust governance and management frameworks, ensure regulatory compliance, and support entry into new markets. We assist family businesses in professionalizing operations, preparing generational transitions, and establishing long-term ownership strategies. Joint ventures and partnerships are structured to create value for all parties and prevent future conflicts.

Practical challenges and risks

Weak contractual documentation leads to disputes, financial losses, and jeopardizes enforceability of rights. Insufficient corporate governance exposes executives to personal liability and companies to regulatory sanctions. Unaddressed partnerships can result in deadlock situations that paralyze business operations. Non-compliance with regulatory rules may result in license revocations and reputational damage. Uncontrolled contract management causes cash flow issues and destabilizes operations.

Our solutions in practice

For manufacturing companies, we prepare supplier contracts with balanced risk allocation and performance guarantees. For service providers, we establish SLA frameworks ensuring quality and margin protection. In distribution environments, we implement selective distribution models in compliance with competition law. For technology startups, we design employee stock option programs and convertible instruments optimizing ownership structures. For boards of directors, we prepare decision-making protocols and conflict-of-interest procedures that minimize liability risks and enhance governance transparency.
