We offer legal and tax advice in all aspects of capital increases and decreases, financing, reorganizations and legal questions concerning groups of companies and family-owned companies, including relationships between shareholders and shareholders’ agreements.

Our lawyers provide services in all areas of public securities offerings, including IPOs and secondary offerings; registration reporting and compliance; private placements; underwriting agreements, placement agreements and fairness opinions; venture capital financing; institutional debt and private equity financing; restricted stock transfers; tender offers; corporate governance and anti-takeover provisions; mergers and acquisitions; leveraged buyouts; investment company regulation; broker-dealer registration and compliance; stock option and other stock-based employee benefit plans, and securities law litigation and arbitration proceedings.
