What we check before you sign

It makes no difference whether you are buying or selling: what does not show up here shows up later, as a claim.

04 — Questions

What people ask us before they instruct us

The legal, tax, employment and accounting review of the company before the deal closes. It is used to set the price and how risk is shared out in the contract.

The seller's statements about the state of the company. If they turn out to be untrue, the buyer can claim: that is why they are negotiated in detail.

Yes: the transfer of shares is formalised in a notarial deed or in a document witnessed by a notary, and recorded in the register of members.
