This is corporate law (corporate law) and law related to the internal company relations setting (corporate governance), which form a significant focus area of the legal services of our SKYLEX Law Firm, where we have extensive and long-term experience. 

How can we help you?

At SKYLEX, we believe that for the proper operation of every client's business, it is important to set up the structure well, choose the appropriate form of business, and secure all necessary permits. Subsequently, it is essential to professionally manage the company not only through the commercial management of its statutory bodies but also by executing resolutions of the general meetings and under the direction of decisions of the supervisory board. 
 
For the company to function as a single organism, it is necessary to set internal relations, comply with statutory obligations, and monitor the company's finances (decide on the results of operations, replenish reserve funds, and maintain optimal capital structure – funds, shareholder loans). 
 
Corporate transformations, structuring, and implementation of tax settings are part of our expertise through which we help clients grow and expand in their business.
We advise entrepreneurs and company owners on corporate law and corporate life with the entire agenda of  internal commercial operation of the company, from choosing the right business form, securing the establishment and formation of the company, obtaining business licenses and various permits, to setting corporate relations within the company and its bodies (board members, executives, supervisory bodies, proxies and contracts related to their function). We provide legal services concerning any changes in the company (change of company name and registered office, changes in the composition of company bodies regarding appointment and dismissal of members, procedural changes, changes in company capital, changes in business activities). 
 
At SKYLEX, we assist you with creating and supplementing capital funds, dissolving capital funds, approving financial statements, and preparing decisions on profit and loss management.
 
Our lawyers advise on corporate transformations (merger, consolidation, division, spin-off, including cross-border transformations) and company reorganizations (especially if the client has multiple companies or operates/lives abroad), usually  within the implementation of the tax structure settings and holding creation, up to the dissolution and liquidation of the company. 
 
By linking one of SKYLEX’s main agendas, M&A advisory, which is closely related to corporate law, we are able to comprehensively cover the individual needs of every entrepreneur (owner as well as investor) regarding the target company, even in cooperation with an external tax advisor. We set relations among shareholders (shareholder agreements and partner agreements), address issues of pre-emptive rights, drag along, tag along, call options, put options, shareholder shoot-out. By utilizing a comprehensive coverage of the business life of companies and connecting these advisory areas, the client can maximize benefits for their business, understand the corporate operation of their company, and ultimately also the flow of their money.
