Drafting and reviewing articles of association
The articles of association form the foundation and framework of the future business of your company. In accordance with your objectives, we will work with you to design the ideal architecture for your company.
Basic questions to ask when setting up a company:
- What is the desired purpose of the company?
-
- Which problem should society solve?
- What is the appropriate shareholder structure?
-
- Who does what, when and what, if not? Who should (not) have which competencies?
- How can society – in the worst-case scenario – react as flexibly as possible to changed circumstances?
-
- Which safety nets can be built in?
Articles of association: Regular review to ensure that it is up-to-date
Usually, when the company is founded, those involved still think about the content defined in the articles of association and also about the company’s objectives. Then you concentrate on the successful development of the company.
In order to do justice to the constantly changing economic conditions, the architecture of the social contract must be adapted so that the pillars of the company do not crack or even threaten to collapse. A regular review and update, especially of older articles of association, is therefore urgently recommended, as otherwise there is a risk that problems – regularly at an inopportune time – arise.
Common cases of need for adjustment:
- Changes in the law that create new opportunities and risks for the current structure, from editorial changes to system changes.
- Changes due to technical progress that simplify the convening, holding or resolution of the shareholders’ meetings, starting with A for holding video conferences (“virtual meetings”) to Z for drawing by electronic signature.
- Changes in the actual or personal circumstances that make it necessary to adjust voting rights or competencies
- Changed objectives of the company due to the inclusion of new business fields
Termination and liquidation of the company
We advise and accompany you through all steps of the dissolution and liquidation of the company, starting from the realization of a reason for dissolution through the processing to the deletion from the company register.
