Corporate

How to organize the governance of your business and family wealth: holding companies, family charters, and a smooth transfer of the business across generations and countries.

Corporate Governance and Shareholding Architecture

Advising founders, business-owning families, and boards of directors.

• Drafting bylaws, shareholders' agreements, and voting structures that protect family control.
• Designing governance bodies (board of directors, family committee) aligned with fairness among shareholders and family branches.
• Preventing and managing corporate disputes among family members and business partners.

Holding Companies and Wealth-Holding Structures

Designing the corporate architecture that supports family wealth.

• Domestic and foreign holding companies to consolidate and protect business and personal assets.
• Structuring the relationship between the operating company and the holding company (dividends, intercompany financing, asset ownership).
• Coordinating international structures when the assets or heirs are connected to more than one country.

Corporate Reorganizations

Mergers, spin-offs, and reorganizations designed to support the continuity of the family business.

• Structuring mergers, spin-offs, and other reorganizations ahead of a succession, sale, or admission of new shareholders.
• Legal due diligence and regulatory execution of the transaction.
• Post-transaction reorganization and orderly transition of control.

Family Charter and Family Governance

The bridge between the family and the business.

• Drafting family charters: rules governing family members' entry into and exit from the business, compensation, and participation.
• Designing family governance bodies (family council or family assembly) and dispute resolution mechanisms.
• Aligning the family charter with the company's bylaws and shareholders' agreements.

Business Succession and Generational Transition

The orderly transfer of control and ownership of the business.

• Designing the structure for transferring control and ownership to the next generation.
• Coordinating with the founder's wealth and succession plan (inheritance, gifts, usufruct arrangements).
• Supporting the transition when the heirs or business operations cross borders.
