Corporate Matters

Corporate services for businesses are one of the key specializations of our law firm. Thanks to the extensive experience of our team of specialists, we are able to provide comprehensive services to any business. The corporate services we offer cover all aspects of running a business, including but not limited to:

Company Registration
Our commercial law experts assist in establishing a new company comprehensively. After analyzing the business plan, they will advise on the best form for the company and propose the most economically viable solutions. They will prepare the necessary documentation, including agreements and regulations. They will carry out the registration process as quickly as possible, and the service also includes representation before the registration court.

Mergers, Divisions, and Transformations of Companies
Business restructuring is often associated with organisational changes in companies. The processes of mergers, divisions and transformations of companies and sole proprietorships must be carefully prepared with the assistance of qualified experts.

At Sommerrey & Partners we have carried out many such procedures. Our lawyers handle all the formalities, plan the entire process and keep clients informed of progress at every stage. Experienced tax advisors work with S&P to develop optimal solutions tailored to your business.

Drafting and Reviewing Corporate Documentation
Running a company involves not only business operations but also the need to comply with various formalities. We provide our clients with the preparation of internal documentation related to daily operations, such as company agreements, statutes, regulations, minutes, and resolutions passed at board meetings. As a part of our corporate services, we also offer support in negotiating all types of contracts with external partners (cooperation agreements, investment agreements, etc.). We prepare all documents related to corporate governance, including regulations, share ledgers, stock registers, minute books, and many others.

Support for Internal Company Operations

• Representation at Meetings
  Shareholders’ meetings or general meetings often take a significant amount of time. Sommerrey & Partners’ lawyers, with the provided powers of attorney, may represent clients during these meetings. We may also participate as experts or advisors, providing opinions on the matters discussed. By going beyond the traditional lawyer’s role, we save clients time and handle their matters with true dedication.
• Drafting Agreements Between Shareholders
  Cooperation between shareholders is essential for the proper functioning and growth of a company. It must be predictable, systematic and based on solid legal foundations. As a large number of our clients are companies, we have the necessary experience to professionally negotiate, draft and support the implementation of agreements between shareholders. This ensures the stability of the business and protects it from the problems that often arise from disagreements or conflicts between shareholders.
• Resolving Disputes Between Shareholders or Partners
  Running a business can sometimes lead to tension and conflict between shareholders or partners. In such circumstances, our lawyers are ready to resolve disputes quickly. They have the expertise and negotiation skills necessary to resolve conflicts swiftly and effectively, ensuring that the business is not exposed to the negative consequences of disputes. By entrusting us with corporate matters, clients can be confident that any conflicts will be resolved efficiently.

Legal Support for Listed Companies and Companies Seeking Listing on NewConnect
Sommerrey & Partners also provides legal support to listed companies and those seeking a listing on the NewConnect market. We provide legal assistance in areas such as complying with disclosure requirements, organising and facilitating general meetings, and drafting and adapting corporate documentation for listed companies or companies seeking to list. We provide legal assistance in raising capital through share issues.

Advisory on the Sale and Purchase of Businesses
What should you do when your company is growing rapidly? Maybe it’s time to acquire another company and expand your business? Or perhaps it’s better to sell your business while its value is at its peak? Our specialists—lawyers and business advisors—will recommend the most beneficial solution at the time. We provide comprehensive services, from checking the financial condition and legal status of a future business partner, through negotiating the terms of the planned investment, to preparing the investment agreement. We guide our clients through this process from start to finish, ensuring ongoing communication about the implementation of each element. Additionally, we take care of the tax aspect of the transaction.

Advisory on the Purchase and Sale of Shares in Capital Companies
Contrary to appearances, share transactions are complicated and subject to many legal requirements. We provide comprehensive support in matters relating to the purchase and sale of shares in limited companies. We prepare the appropriate documents and advise on the best solutions from both a legal and tax perspective.

Liability of Management Board Members for the Obligations of a Limited Liability Company (LLC)
Creditors often pursue management board members for the company’s debts after unsuccessful enforcement against the company, as permitted by the Commercial Companies Code. We have extensive experience in representing both creditors and management board members in such cases. We represent our clients in negotiations and court proceedings related to this matter.
