We help set up companies in multiple jurisdictions (UK, Switzerland, Ukraine, Georgia, Cyprus). We can assist with all business establishment issues including bank account opening, renting office space, establishing internal contractual documentation and policies, preparing shareholder and board resolutions, arranging accounting and audit support, dealing with employment law and immigration issues.

We advise clients on various stages of cross-border M&A transactions, including:

• Assembling due diligence team with outside advisors to identify financial, commercial & operational issues involving tax, market share & positioning and key management & senior staff review; and
• Drafting and reviewing documents to close transactions.

We also deal with multiple contentious issues in the corporate context, including:

• representing clients in shareholder disputes spanning multiple jurisdictions.
• winding-up proceedings against companies in Switzerland, UK and Cyprus;
• disputes over corporate rights, option agreements and the like; and
• employment law disputes and disputes between corporate partners.
