Commercial and Company Law, Flensburg; Ina Reese, Solicitor
Legal support that complies with the law on company formation, drafting contracts and all matters relating to company law
Incorporation and choice of legal form
Choosing the right company structure lays the foundation for your business’s financial success. We advise you on setting up a GmbH, public limited company, UG, GbR, partnership or limited partnership, and draw up the appropriate articles of association for your project. We also assist self-employed professionals, such as doctors, in setting up joint practices. Furthermore, we advise on the entire life cycle of a company, from conversion to a different legal form through to liquidation and the settlement of accounts when shareholders leave the company.Company Law, Flensburg
Articles of Association and Statutes
A clearly worded partnership agreement prevents disputes and sets out binding rules governing the cooperation between the partners. We draft and review articles of association and statutes for limited liability companies (GmbHs), civil-law partnerships (GbRs) and partnerships, and adapt them to changing circumstances, such as when new shareholders join, in relation to succession clauses or provisions on profit distribution. We also draft legally sound managing director’s contracts and employment contracts for the company’s executive bodies.
Management, Authorisation and Liability
Managing directors bear far-reaching duties and face personal liability risks. We advise on powers of representation, the granting and revocation of procuration, and the delineation of areas of responsibility where there are several managing directors. As part of our advice to managing directors, we assist you with matters relating to managing directors’ liability towards the company and creditors, the appointment and removal of managing directors, and liability limitations in employment contracts.
Shareholder disputes and the withdrawal of shareholders
Differing views on the direction of the company or the distribution of profits often lead to conflicts. We represent your interests in disputes between shareholders, at shareholders’ meetings and in proceedings relating to expulsion and compensation. Where possible, we work towards an amicable solution; where necessary, we consistently enforce your claims both out of court and in court.
Business succession and the transfer of company shares
The handover of a business to the next generation or to external successors needs to be planned well in advance. We draft succession arrangements in the articles of association, assist with the transfer of shares and advise on the admission of new shareholders in preparation for succession. We also support you when changing the company’s legal form as part of a reorganisation; for further information on Right of conversion can be found in our separate Performance range.
Tax implications of decisions under company law
As a solicitor and specialist in tax law, we always consider corporate law issues from a tax perspective as well. The choice of legal form, the structuring of profit distributions or the tax optimisation of business succession have a direct impact on your tax liability. We assess these interrelationships under one roof, so you do not need to switch between a law firm and a tax consultancy.
