Company formation
Forming a company involves deciding how its owners will participate, who will manage it and which rules will govern the business. Choosing a structure requires understanding the proposed activity and plans for investment and growth.
We advise entrepreneurs and businesses on the legal preparation of new companies. We work on structure and bylaws, coordinating documentation and formalities with the professionals whose involvement is required.
Our approach to the matter
We review the activity, participants, contributions and proposed management arrangements. We explain legal options and identify issues to coordinate with tax and accounting advisers.
Documents for the initial review
- A description of the activity and business model.
- Information about the owners and proposed contributions.
- Proposed company names and registered address.
- Preliminary agreements on management, investment and ownership.
The scope, fees and third-party costs depend on the structure and required procedures. The initial consultation identifies outstanding decisions and documents that still need to be gathered.

What information is needed to recommend a company structure?
Before drafting bylaws, we review the business activity, participants, contributions, management and investment plans. We also identify decisions that need coordination with an accountant or tax adviser. The choice should reflect the operation and the relationship between the participants.
What does the engagement include, and which costs are quoted separately?
We specify in writing the advice, documents and steps included in the engagement. The proposal distinguishes the firm's fees from third-party costs, such as applicable formalization expenses. We also identify who will handle subsequent registrations and filings, so the scope is clear before work begins.
