This is corporate law (corporate law) and the law relating to the establishment of internal relationships within companies (corporate governance), which constitute a significant area of focus for the legal services of our SKYLEX Law Firm, where we have extensive experience accumulated over many years.

How can we help you?

At SKYLEX, we believe that for every client’s business to operate properly, it is important to establish the right structure, select a suitable form of business and obtain all the necessary permits. Subsequently, the company must be managed competently not only through the business management of its statutory bodies, but also through the implementation of general meeting resolutions and under the direction of supervisory board decisions.

For a company to function as a single organism, it is necessary to establish relationships within it, fulfil statutory obligations and monitor the company’s finances (make decisions on the results of its operations, replenish reserve funds and ensure an optimal capital structure – funds and shareholder loans).

Corporate transformations, structuring and implementation of tax arrangements are part of our expertise, through which we help clients grow and expand their businesses.

We advise entrepreneurs and company owners on corporate law and the corporate life of companies, covering the entire agenda of the company’s internal business operations, from selecting a suitable form of business and arranging the establishment and formation of a company, obtaining business permits and various licences, to establishing corporate relationships within the company and with its bodies’ members (members of the board of directors and managing directors, supervisory bodies, authorised representatives, and agreements on the performance of their duties). We provide legal services in connection with any changes in the company (changes to the company name and registered office, changes in the composition of the company’s bodies upon the appointment and removal of members, changes in the manner of acting, changes in the company’s registered capital, and changes to the company’s business activities).

At SKYLEX, we assist you with creating and replenishing capital funds, dissolving capital funds, approving financial statements and preparing decisions on the allocation of profits and losses.

Our lawyers advise on corporate transformations (mergers, amalgamations, divisions, spin-offs, including cross-border transformations) and reorganisations of company operations (especially where a client has several companies or also conducts business or lives abroad), generally as part of implementing the tax structure and creating a holding company, through to the dissolution and liquidation of the company.

By combining one of SKYLEX’s main areas of practice, M&A advisory, which is closely connected with corporate law, we are able to comprehensively address the individual needs of every entrepreneur (both owner and investor) in matters relating to the target company, including in cooperation with an external tax adviser. We establish relationships between shareholders (shareholders’ agreements and agreements with shareholders), address pre-emption rights, drag-along, tag-along, call options, put options and shareholder shoot-outs. By providing comprehensive coverage of companies’ business life and linking these advisory areas, the client can derive maximum benefits for their business, understand the corporate operation of their company and, ultimately, the flow of their money.

Preparation of documentation for the formation of companies and advice during the company formation process
