Practice areas
Legal support for business activity, from day-to-day operations to disputes.
Running a business throws up legal questions at every turn: a contract to sign, a board decision, a debt that goes unpaid. We support SMEs, family businesses and their directors in that day-to-day work and, above all, when things get complicated.
We work on a clear premise: it is almost always cheaper to prevent than to litigate. That is why we value early guidance, reviewing the contract before it is signed and anticipating the dispute before it erupts.
And when a dispute does come, we meet it with the discipline of a large firm and the closeness of a small one, dealing with you directly.
Negotiating, drafting and reviewing the contracts that underpin the business: sale and purchase, distribution, services, confidentiality. Better thought through before signing than argued over later.
The life of the company: incorporation, shareholders' agreements, general meetings and management bodies, disputes between shareholders, share transfers and restructurings.
When financial pressure builds: restructuring plans, pre-insolvency and insolvency proceedings. The sooner you act, the more options remain on the table.
Complex banking products, unfair terms and financing. Recovery of amounts wrongly charged, out of court and in court.
Every matter is prepared with method: I check the applicable rules and case law against their source, I watch the deadlines and I map out the strategy before acting.
In business matters, moreover, the line with criminal law is never far away (breach of fiduciary duty, punishable insolvencies). Keeping it in mind from the outset avoids unpleasant surprises, and is one of the advantages of also handling white-collar crime myself.
I do not promise outcomes; I do promise work that is prepared, diligent and verifiable.
