Our services

Corporate law
How to follow the rules

Corporate law

iustus law firm offers services pertaining to commercial law and corporate law, including legal form transformation. In addition, we also provide legal services and consulting related to the so-called squeeze-outs and sell-outs and share trading in a regulated market.

Tax planning
Good setup,      
      good outcome

Tax planning

Because the world of taxation is constantly changing, making it extremely difficult to follow the developments across multiple jurisdictions, it becomes increasingly important in today’s globalised world to work with external professionals no matter if you are an international corporation or a small start-up/spin-off. More and more clients are realising how important tax planning has become, which, when provided in a due and timely manner, only costs a fraction of what an incorrect tax setup would cost. Besides tax planning, we also provide supplementary legal services related to its implementation.

Compliance
Play with an open deck of cards

Compliance

Because we ourselves use advanced tools and procedures to meet legal obligations in identifying and verifying our clients and business partners, we also offer this service to our clients. When requested, we can provide our clients with a verification report for a specific entity (natural person, legal entity, or vessel), checking for them in sanctions lists and data from public databases in which we use the same tools and procedures as the largest financial institutions. We allow our clients to become more trustworthy, eliminating the most significant threats with regard to reputation and sanctions.

Mergers
and
acquisitions
Know your partner

Mergers and acquisitions

We provide our clients with comprehensive legal counsel for both domestic and foreign mergers and acquisitions in close cooperation with external experts in different fields of consulting from different jurisdictions. We have experience with reorganising businesses, forming international holding structures, and preparing the underlying documentation.

Asset management
When trust is binding

Asset management

Besides providing standard legal services, we also manage our clients’ assets, applying due professional care to develop the entrusted assets (business shares, securities, funds, real estate) in compliance with the clients’ orders and instructions. We take the burden of asset management off our clients’ shoulders, increasing the value of their assets in a way pre-approved by the client and submitting regular reports.

Due Diligence
The importance
of
a timely diagnosis

Due Diligence

When acquiring a new business or a part of it and during reorganisations it often becomes necessary to have an unbiased assessment of the condition the company is in at a specific date. This is where our Due Diligence service comes in. We assess the condition of the company in terms of its legal relationships, including judicial and administrative proceedings, accounting and tax. The outcome of this process is a risk analysis which allows the client to significantly reduce the risk involved in the planned transaction.
