We cle­ar­ly out­line the advan­ta­ges and dis­ad­van­ta­ges of various legal forms – offe­ring com­pa­ri­sons with enti­ties fami­li­ar to the cli­ent in their coun­try of ori­gin. Our sup­port beg­ins at the very first step – the decis­i­on to start a busi­ness in Ger­ma­ny or Ita­ly — and con­ti­nues through to regis­tra­ti­on with the com­mer­cial regis­ter. With a pro­per­ly aut­ho­ri­zed power of att­or­ney, we are able to hand­le all requi­red for­ma­li­ties on your behalf, mea­ning that in many cases your phy­si­cal pre­sence is not requi­red. We draft and trans­la­te all incor­po­ra­ti­on docu­ments, artic­les of asso­cia­ti­on, and neces­sa­ry share­hol­der agree­ments. We also prepa­re exe­cu­ti­ve and manage­ment con­tracts in both lan­guages, ensu­ring that all docu­men­ta­ti­on is ful­ly bilin­gu­al and com­pli­ant. With many years of expe­ri­ence in Ita­li­an-Ger­man cor­po­ra­te law, we craft con­tract clau­ses that reflect the inte­rests of all par­ties and are desi­gned to be legal­ly sound in the event of dis­pu­te.

Dis­pu­tes may also occur bet­ween the com­pa­ny and its gover­ning bodies, fre­quent­ly invol­ving issues such as ter­mi­na­ti­on or ear­ly can­cel­la­ti­on of exe­cu­ti­ve and manage­ment con­tracts, or dis­agree­ments over bonus entit­le­ments.
