Your solicitor, a consultant to business owners

Solicitors provide consultancy services to business owners. They deal with all aspects of business law: selection of the company (legal and tax) status best suited to the owner’s business plan, setting up a company and taking care of its legal management, restructuring, by-laws amendments, (acquisition and) disposal of shares, mergers, demergers and, broadly speaking, all matters related to legal entities.

Solicitors also draw up agreements for the sale of commercial or craft businesses, deal with leases and lease transfers and, generally speaking, draft all contracts pertaining to the economic activities of a company such as lease financing, franchises and controlling interest transfers.
