One of our specialities is the analysis of your company. We call it the “company check”. Depending on the questions asked, the strengths and weaknesses of your company are highlighted and, if necessary, alternative solutions are presented. There is no better way to prevent. You simply tell us what you want – we’ll take care of everything else.
Of course, we also accompany your operative business with purchase and work contracts, distribution as well as your legal relationships with commercial agents and service providers. You can draw on our many years of experience both in drafting employment contracts and in drafting contracts and assessing the legal consequences in all areas of law. We carry out an all-encompassing company check, help create a contract management system. This includes the collection, archiving and evaluation of contracts maintained by the company. In addition, at your request, we will review existing contracts and revise them if necessary. In particular, we create individual General Terms and Conditions (GTC) tailored to your needs. We will also be pleased to review your existing GTCs. The starting point is always your business purpose and your clientele. This is what we build the GTC on.
We can also assist in drafting or reviewing terms and conditions for specific legal transactions such as construction and work contracts, agency agreements, leases, rental agreements, insurance contracts or banking transactions.
In all areas, we attach importance to our client’s ideas, current case law and possible changes in the economic framework conditions. In the event of a dispute, we advise on the weak points of the opposing contract and exploit them in the interests of our client’s commercial success.
The public limited company (Aktiengesellschaft) in Germany
Choosing the corporate form of a joint-stock company in Germany (AG) means that a company can raise large amounts of capital, as required by a modern large-scale enterprise. Since the shareholders do not enter into any further obligations with the share purchase, the AG can address a wide audience on the general capital market. The easy transferability of shares is also essential, in the case of listed companies via the stock exchange. The AG is the preferred corporate form for large companies.
We can assist with all questions regarding the formation of a company, in particular the articles of association, the formation report and the formation audit. We will prepare the Annual General Meeting with you and will be happy to attend if you wish. We draw up rules of procedure for the Executive Board and Supervisory Board as well as corresponding service contracts for executives and employees. We also provide a competent team to carry out audits of the annual financial statements and management reports of medium-sized companies.
The so-called Europa AG, the European Company (SE) is a legal form for companies that are active or wish to become active in various Member States of the European Union. It considerably facilitates cross-border cooperation: Subsidiaries no longer have to be founded in different countries according to different laws. Instead, all parts of the company united in an Europa AG will be given a uniform legal dress.
