Designing Structures, Ensuring Accountability

A company’s corporate structure forms the foundation for business decisions, growth, and sustainable development. Issues of governance, the organization of management and control structures, and the cooperation among shareholders arise in all phases of a company’s development. We support companies and shareholders in creating sustainable structures, managing legal risks, and avoiding conflicts at an early stage.

FGvW provides comprehensive advice on corporate law. We assist our clients in the formation of companies, with ongoing corporate law advice, and in adapting corporate structures to new economic or regulatory requirements. Our advisory approach combines legal precision with a clear understanding of business decision-making processes.

Our key areas of focus in corporate law include, in particular:

• Formation and structuring of companies, including partnerships and corporations
• Drafting and amending articles of association and shareholder agreements
• Advising managing directors, board members, and supervisory boards on rights and obligations
• Corporate governance and the organization of management and control structures
• Shareholder disputes and conflict resolution within companies
• Conversions and corporate reorganizations

We view corporate law as a central instrument of corporate governance. Our advisors work closely with related practice groups to consistently integrate corporate, tax, and regulatory issues. This results in legally sound structures that enable business flexibility and create long-term stability.

Clear advice and a reliable basis for decision-making are particularly crucial in sensitive corporate law situations. We support you in designing legally sound structures, balancing interests, and securing your business goals for the long term.
