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.
