Corporate Law
Legal, tax, and business-management issues are closely interwoven within the corporate structure. A favourable provision with respect to taxation may not always be in the best interests of a client from a corporatelaw perspective. Our multi-disciplinary consulting approach thus provides a crucial advantage. Together with our clients, we develop creative solutions, thereby combining both the highest levels of legal acumen and accuracy with our longstanding legal experience of corporate structures and our knowledge and understanding of the needs of medium-sized companies.
