Company Law
Company law is central to every business – from incorporation and day-to-day operations, through reorganisation and restructuring, to an eventual sale or winding-up. Sound risk management and corporate governance are prerequisites for success, and the choices made along the way have consequences long after they are taken.
Legal advice on company law
Company law is a key area of business for Brækhus. We advise on all matters relating to corporate law, including the choice of legal form and group structure, and the establishment of companies and branches.
Our assistance includes ongoing advice on corporate governance, to management, boards and shareholders alike. As our client, you work closely with lawyers who provide practical advice tailored to your company’s commercial objectives.
Directors’ liability and investigations
Where there is suspicion of unlawful or improper conduct, a company may initiate an investigation itself, or be made subject to one. Board members may also be held personally liable for losses if the board has acted negligently.
We are frequently involved in matters concerning directors’ liability and investigations, and assist companies, boards and individual board members alike.
Interdisciplinary advice
We are organised to work across disciplines. M&A, corporate tax and employment law are areas of significant relevance to corporate law matters, and we provide market-leading expertise in all of them.
