Corporate Law and Commercial Contracts

Advising clients on all ongoing aspects of their corporate and commercial activities, including exercising the duties of board secretary.

We advise on regulatory compliance matters, including corporate management, secretarial duties, reporting requirements and the recording of corporate minutes relating to companies’ day-to-day transactions. Our cross-sectoral knowledge of different sectors enables us to prepare all types of commercial contracts adapted to our clients’ commercial needs.

We help implement, negotiate and draft shareholders agreements and bylaw amendments. Thanks to our track record and experience, we are the best option when it comes to analyzing and implementing all possible structures. This includes qualified majorities, restrictions on share transfers, call and put options, tag-along and drag-along rights, corporate management, dividend distributions, composition and choice of governing bodies, and exercising rights to vote. We advise family businesses on the contractual design of protocols that ensure the permanence after generations or, where appropriate, the professionalization or potential divestment of family branches.

We also help incorporate and restructure corporate groups by planning and implementing the most appropriate corporate structures. We draft and negotiate contracts and related documents, advising on all aspects to ensure the corresponding regulatory compliance.

We prepare the relevant documents for national and international structural modifications, including transfers of registered office, mergers and spin-offs.

Cuatrecasas consistently demonstrates a deep understanding of our business needs and goals and provides innovative and practical advice.
