Document overseen by a lawyer
Articles of association in Luxembourg
The firm drafts the articles of association of your Luxembourg company (SARL, SARL-S, SA, SOPARFI) and supports you through incorporation and the related formalities.
Legal content reviewed by Maître Cora Maglo, Avocate à la Cour, Liste I du Barreau de Luxembourg depuis 2009.
The articles of association are the founding instrument of the company: they set the corporate purpose, the capital, the governance and the operating rules.
Cerno is a law firm admitted to the Luxembourg Bar; its digital tools only simplify information gathering, qualification of the matter and tracking of requests, never replacing the lawyer’s advice. The firm adapts the corporate form and the articles to your project, then coordinates incorporation with the notary and the RCS/RBE formalities.

Is a notary required to incorporate a company?
For most forms (SARL, SA), the deed of incorporation must be notarised. The firm coordinates that step.

Testimonials
What our clients say
Had a consultation with Me Cora Maglo about my Luxembourg Blue Card application. She explained everything clearly: the process, timeline and documents I need, and helped me with my wife’s family reunification too. Honest and practical advice. I felt confident after talking to her.Farshid Pourlatifi
J’ai beaucoup apprécié le service de Maître Maglo : son sérieux, sa sympathie, son professionnalisme et sa disponibilité. Toujours répondu rapidement et clairement, avec des conseils pragmatiques, sans pousser à des procédures longues et coûteuses lorsqu’elles ne sont pas justifiées.Nathan Wirtzfeld
