Corporate law and Contractual law for SMEs

Things do not always develop the way we imagined them. This is when flexibility and creativity are needed. And courage to reset the sails.

Restructuring, Data protection, Shareholder agreement

Corporate structures and complex contracts have to be adapted to changes in the economic, legal and tax framework. This is an ongoing process, and is particularly evident in the stricter data protection domain. I support you here to ensure that you do not miss the boat.

You want

  • to implement a complex restructuring process in your company

    Whether it be a merger, demerger, spin-off, a change in legal form etc, it is vital to involve all parties early on and to communicate with them in a consistent and convincing manner.

  • to act in a data protection compliant manner when carrying out business transactions

    Both the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA) require companies to provide proof of compliance with new data protection regulations and to periodically review the firm’s compliance with the said rules.

  • to undertake a targeted company takeover

  • to draw up an effective shareholder agreement

    A shareholder agreement arises from the need to create clear relationships between shareholders. Such a contract is not regulated by law. The content is determined by the specific needs of the shareholders involved; the agreement only applies to those parties.

Contracts, GTC, Liability

Many companies do not have a proper overview of the contracts that are essential to their operations. They are therefore unable to react appropriately in a crisis.

You want

  • to have contracts checked

  • to have the general terms and conditions (GTC) checked

  • to avoid contractual penalties and liability risks

    All essential elements of a contract should be clearly and unambiguously stated in the document. Vague wording will be interpreted as harmful to the drafter of the document. GTCs are also part of the contract. Certain contracts are subject to formal requirements.
