Shareholder disputes and business-critical decisions
Intervention in shareholder disputes, corporate structures and legal decisions with an impact on business continuity
Corporate law is not limited to regulating business activity. In practice, it provides the framework within which decisions are made that affect company control, relationships between shareholders and the continuity of the business.
Each corporate situation presents different challenges. Below are the main areas in which we act, all linked to key decisions regarding the structure, control or development of the company.
Corporate and commercial law practice areas
Each corporate matter requires a different approach. Below, you can access the specific area that best fits your case to explore the full service (M&A, restructuring and insolvency, family business, corporate governance or company law).
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
Corporate law provides the legal framework on which merger, acquisition and corporate reorganisation transactions are structured, both in growth scenarios and in business restructuring contexts.
The firm acts in this type of transaction from a corporate and company law perspective, in coordination with tax and asset advisory services, addressing the legal structuring of the transaction, negotiations between the parties and the proper execution of the agreements reached.
Acquisition and sale of companies, due diligence, negotiation and closing.
In these transactions, the legal structure not only formalises the agreement, but also determines its viability and its medium- and long-term effects.
Restructuring and insolvency
Situations of business distress and restructuring processes have a decisive corporate dimension, particularly in relation to corporate organisation, directors’ liability and the relationship between shareholders and creditors.
The firm’s corporate practice in this area is focused on the legal structuring of these situations, both in preventive stages and in formal restructuring or insolvency scenarios, with an integrated view of the corporate and insolvency framework.
Viability analysis, pre-insolvency stages, negotiations with creditors, and protection of directors.
Delayed action in these situations often significantly limits the available options.
External legal counsel
External legal counsel allows companies and corporate groups to rely on specialised legal judgement integrated into their decision-making process, without the need to maintain an in-house legal department.
We provide this service as a natural extension of the company’s structure, contributing legal insight, anticipatory capacity and consistency in the day-to-day development of business activities.
Ongoing support, contract review, corporate risk assessment, and support to management.
This service is particularly suited to companies that need to integrate legal judgement into decision-making, not only in problem-solving situations.
Family business: family protocol and succession
Family businesses present their own legal complexity, as business, financial and family interests converge and must be structured in a coherent and stable way over time.
The firm advises on the legal structuring of family businesses, with particular focus on succession processes, generational transition, and the preservation of assets and the business project.
Succession, conflict prevention, continuity and governance.
In these contexts, a lack of planning often shifts personal conflicts into the corporate sphere.
Corporate governance and directors’ liability
Corporate governance and the liability regime of directors are central elements in the proper management and legal stability of companies.
Our approach focuses on advising boards of directors, shareholders and executives on the appropriate structuring of corporate governance systems and on the prevention of risks arising from management and representation functions.
Directors’ duties, critical decisions, liability risk prevention.
A properly structured governance system not only prevents conflicts, but also reduces personal risks for directors and shareholders.
Company law
Company law provides the legal framework on which the organisation, operation and development of companies are structured.
The firm advises companies, shareholders and boards of directors on the proper configuration and adaptation of their corporate structures, with a focus on legal stability, conflict prevention and sound decision-making.
Shareholders’ agreements, challenge of resolutions, corporate deadlock, control.
In practice, many corporate disputes originate from poorly defined structures or the absence of effective resolution mechanisms.
What defines our approach to corporate law
Intervention in corporate law requires more than technical knowledge.
At our firm, each matter is addressed taking into account:
- The actual corporate structure
- The balance between shareholders
- The impact of each decision on the business
- Directors’ liability
In this type of matter, the legal solution must be robust, but also workable in practice.
