Expertise
Corporate law
We help businesses by assisting them in their daily operations. Our field of expertise is very extensive, consisting of all legal rules a company and its directors, shareholders and employees may have to deal with. We support entrepreneurs both nationally and internationally.
Corporate Investigations
Addressing fraud, corruption or violations of internal rules within your own company requires careful investigation. Our services include conducting (internal) company investigations, advising on compliance with laws and regulations and litigating against authorities or liable parties.
International Business
International business, including import and export of goods, requires specific knowledge of international regulations and foreign laws. It is also important to ensure the necessary contracts (often in English, German, Russian or French, which we fluently speak). We offer more than ten years of experience in working with such contracts, letters of credit, cash against documents, bank guarantees, customs legislation (taric and GN codes), export regulation (dual use goods), INCOTERMS, VAT regulations and insurance.
We also assist our customers in setting up companies abroad, such as recently in France, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Dubai, Algeria, Malaysia, Australia, Brazil and Venezuela.
Compliance
Organizations have to comply with a growing number of laws and regulations. We help organizations to comply with these laws and regulations by providing (proactive) advice and facilitating compliance management.
Contracts
We draw up all necessary contracts, assess and comment on the conditions provided by your customers or suppliers and negotiate with the other party directly if needed. Think sale and purchase agreements, rent, lease and service agreements, general terms and conditions, letters of intent and letters of comfort, nondisclosure agreements, licenses and cooperation agreements (agents, distribution, authorized repair shop, joint venture).
Merger and Acquisition
It can be interesting to grow by investing in new products and/or new markets. This process can be accelerated by acquiring a company or entering into a structural partnership with another company (eg in the form of a merger or joint venture). Such an acquisition or collaboration requires thorough preparation. In addition to an extensive business plan, a good due diligence is indispensable.
