Frequently asked questions

When is a shareholders agreement useful

It can address decision-making, transfers, funding, deadlock, exits and dispute procedures before a disagreement arises. Its terms should be coordinated with the articles of association and mandatory law.

What should be reviewed before signing a commercial contract

The scope, price, acceptance criteria, liability, data use, intellectual property, termination, governing law and dispute mechanism should reflect the actual transaction and operating process.

Can the firm provide ongoing corporate support

Ongoing support can cover corporate approvals, minutes, contract review, regulatory questions and the early management of disputes, under an agreed scope of work.
