Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial, Insolvency, and Corporate Law
Hidden
When is it necessary to consult a business lawyer?
When a company needs to be incorporated, enter into important contracts, reorganize its corporate structure, or resolve disputes with partners, customers, or suppliers.
What liability can a company director incur?
Directors may be held personally liable if they fail to fulfil their legal duties, particularly in cases of mismanagement or insolvency that is not addressed in good time.
What happens if there are disputes between partners and the business comes to a standstill?
In such cases, it is possible to analyse the articles of association and agreements in order to seek negotiated solutions or, where appropriate, take legal action to resolve the deadlock or reorganise the company.
When should a company consider filing for insolvency proceedings?
Where a company is unable to meet its payment obligations on a regular basis and the situation of insolvency persists, the law provides for insolvency proceedings to protect both the company and its creditors.
Is it possible to avoid insolvency proceedings if the company is still in business?
In many cases, yes. There are negotiation and pre-restructuring mechanisms that make it possible to seek solutions before resorting to insolvency proceedings.
What happens to commercial contracts during insolvency proceedings?
It depends on the type of contract and its importance to the continuity of the business. Each situation must be analysed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the contract should be maintained, amended or terminated.
Can you advise on capital increase or reduction transactions?
Yes. We assist throughout the entire process, from the legal planning stage through to the formalisation of the agreements and their registration.
What is corporate restructuring?
It is a legal process that enables a company’s structure to be adapted through corporate or financial changes in order to improve its viability.
Do you advise companies as well as partners and directors?
Yes. We provide advice to companies, shareholders and governing bodies, taking into account the legal position of each party in each matter.
When is it advisable to seek advice on commercial, insolvency or company law?
It is advisable to seek legal advice from the very outset of a business venture or whenever a significant decision needs to be made. Seeking advice at an early stage helps to prevent disputes, minimise risks and broaden the range of possible solutions.
