Corporate law
Would you like advice on starting up a business? Do you want to take over a company or do you have a conflict with a co-shareholder or are you thinking about your (tax advantaged) business succession? Our corporate lawyers are here for you.
Risk management
Doing business is, by definition, taking risks. As an entrepreneur, you can easily oversee a number of risks, but there are also risks that you are unaware of. It is wise to make use of our services when setting up the legal structure of a company, when concluding contracts and when cooperating with other entrepreneurs. Our specialists are engaged in identifying and limiting risks of which you as an entrepreneur are unaware, so that you can focus on your core business: entrepreneurship.
Corporate governance
Entrepreneurs and institutions are increasingly confronted with regulations and codes of conduct concerning the management of their organisation or institution. Organisations must account – both internally and externally – and find a good balance with the stakeholders. It is important that you comply with the regulations without jeopardising the functioning of your organisation. High-level legal assistance is indispensable in this respect. The specialists of DeHaan know these regulations and codes of conduct and can advise on a good corporate governance structure.
Our specialists advise on:
- establishing and structuring legal entities;
- making choices about which legal entity suits the company;
- reorganising companies financially, fiscally or legally;
- entering into and terminating joint ventures;
- drawing up shareholder agreements;
- financing a business and providing security;
- entering into mergers and acquisitions;
- drafting agency and distribution agreements;
- managing personal liability risks.
