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.
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.
