Joint Ventures, Corporate Structures & Reorganisation

When our clients enter a joint venture, we help establish the best course and map it all out: from identifying and documenting each shareholder’s expectations to planning possible exits. We ensure every detail is clear – contributions, rights to nominate managing body members, decision-making, share transfers, drag- and tag-alongs, and other related rights and obligations – so you are prepared for any eventuality.

We excel at complex cross-border mergers, leveraging our international resources for maximum efficiency. In reorganisations, we assess whether the current corporate structure supports your business or needs changes, such as splitting different lines of business or merging similar ones. We often suggest proactive reorganisations to solve potential issues, make structures more efficient, reduce risks, or save capital.
