Running a business is complex, even if you manage a small company. As a business owner, you are expected to have full control over all the regulations applicable to your operations. We can help simplify your business management and ensure that you have control over all formalities and that your business has strong legal protection, allowing you to focus on the core activities.
We specialize in business law for small business owners, which means the type of legal issues that concern you if you are a sole proprietor or have a business with up to ten employees. Do not hesitate to contact us; we would be happy to have an initial, no-obligation conversation to explore how we can assist you and your business.
If you are unsure whether we can help you, you can read more below about what we can offer in various areas.
Contract Law
Contract law is the fundamental legal building block of all business activities. Virtually everything you do as a business owner is based on different types of contracts. You act daily according to the contracts you have entered into with both your customers and your suppliers.
If you are not aware of or do not understand the various contracts applicable to your business, there is a high risk that sooner or later you will encounter contract-related problems—something that can be very costly. We help you gain control over your contracts, and we can draft new contracts, review your existing contracts, and of course, assist you in contract negotiations if you feel you need extra support and knowledge, for example, when negotiating a contract with a new customer or supplier.
Shareholder Issues
When there is more than one owner in a business, it is important that the relationship between the owners is clearly regulated. Unfortunately, too many companies encounter problems due to uncertainties or disputes between the owners.
We are happy to help you review your situation and find a suitable solution for your ownership and partnership. This is usually done by drafting a shareholders' agreement or partnership agreement that regulates everything from how you will run the business to what happens if the company is sold or if one of you passes away.
Debt Collection Law
If you have claims that the debtor does not want to, or cannot, pay, we can represent you. We take the necessary actions to ensure you receive payment and pursue the claim both directly against the debtor and through the Enforcement Authority or in court.
If the situation is the opposite, meaning that someone is making a claim against you that you believe you are not obligated to pay, we can represent you and dispute the claim, regardless of how the claim has been presented. We also assist you in negotiations with the opposing party.
Business Transfers
If you are selling your company or purchasing another business, we can assist you throughout the process. This applies whether it involves a share transfer or an asset transfer. We ensure that the transfer is carried out correctly and prepare all the agreements and other legal documents required. We can also assist you in negotiations with the other party.
Disputes and Negotiations
Most business owners will, sooner or later, find themselves in a dispute with either a customer or a supplier. When a dispute arises, it is crucial to have control over the legal aspects and take appropriate action in good time. Disputes can become very costly if they are allowed to "escalate" before any action is taken.
Whether a dispute is imminent or you are already involved in one, we can quickly gain an overview of the situation and assess your chances of success in a legal proceeding, such as in court. After that, we can assist you both in negotiations with the opposing party and act as your representative if the dispute goes to, or is already in, court. We will ensure that your rights are protected.
