You wish (gradually) to take a step back, to completely transfer your shares within the company, or to discontinue the company completely. We are happy to advise you on the consequences of the various choices that can be made.
Or is the survival of the business at risk due to (exceptional) financial difficulties? We are happy to help you evaluate whether there are chances of recovery and in negotiations with suppliers or banks. In that context, a judicial reorganization procedure for an internal reorganization or transfer may prove useful, if you are open to it in good time. If it turns out that everything is no longer feasible, we will guide you in applying for the bankruptcy and contacting the trustee afterwards.
Your daily operation: contracts and projects
Sometimes less aware of the consequences, small but also larger contracts are concluded every day. Its consequences are best estimated correctly before you put your signature under it. Certainly if they are part of a broader planning or a concrete project.
- Do they fully meet your objectives?
- Do you receive the necessary guarantees?
- Are you sufficiently safeguarding your interests?
- What are the consequences of shortcomings?
- For how long are you bound?
- Can you get out of it quickly and cheaply?
- Do they fit within your short and longer term planning?
Be sure to read them in good time, and ask us for legal advice regarding your project in advance.
We prefer to help you in a timely manner with:
- Commercial rent
- Common rent
- Occupation in prayer
- Alternative shapes
- Business rights such as usufruct or building rights
- Rent-buy
- Buy
- Leasing etc.
often bind for a longer period of time and are often subject to strict regulations of their own.
The same may apply to agreements in which services are provided (telephony or internet solutions, maintenance contracts, printers, etc.):
- Automatic contract renewal clauses
- Termination or termination fees
- Price adjustment clauses, etc.
can have a much bigger impact than what the fine print might suggest…
Collaboration agreements also often have an impact in the longer term, so that contracts to be concluded from e.g.
- Franchising
- Mandate
- Trade Representation
- Commercial agency
- Labor contract
- …
should be followed closely.
Specific clauses in the above contracts can also have different consequences depending on the background, the type of contract, the qualification that may be given to it, and the mandatory or non-mandatory legal rules that apply to it. For example, a competition clause will not always be fully implemented, and in other cases certain clauses will have to be kept unread because they are in conflict with mandatory legislation.
So be sure to have everything checked to see if it is in accordance with your plans and objectives.
We are also happy to discuss the feasibility of your plans with you with proposals for optimization, eliminating legal caveats and offering alternative solutions.
Do not hesitate to think of us with your investments in real estate (consequences of your purchase and resale in every area – better privately or through a company? are there optimization possibilities? cooperation agreements or plans for the start-up of a new activity, changes to current contracts, a correct termination thereof, etc.
But vigilance can also be useful in your contract with the contractor and architect when, for example, entering into construction work. What price agreements are there, and what are the consequences of this? What provisions have been included regarding the delivery of the works? Are there
no risks resulting from the choice of contract partner?, etc…
In short, let us make the difference for you in advance.
Damage, protection and insurance
Damage and loss are unfortunately also an integral part of your professional life. A fire, damage caused during the operation of your activities by yourself, staff or buildings, or by third parties where you or your company become a victim.
A correct assessment of the policies taken out and their guarantees, assistance in enforcing cover and correct, timely intervention by the insurer can make a big difference.
What steps can you take and when should you take the initiative to the insurance company? Can they refuse to intervene? Could they cancel that policy?
The question of this liability, the persons entitled to and liable to pay compensation and the possible interventions of insurance all require a specific expertise that is amply available within the office.
But also a prosecution before the police court of yourself, your company or a staff member for, for example, non-compliance with traffic rules, overloading, driving excessively fast or driving while intoxicated or drunk, is best tackled adequately to prevent personal damage due to a long driving ban or avoid high fines.
Both in the field of (criminal) defense and in the field of civil consequences, we take the worry off your shoulders, and we are happy to help you!
