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.

In short

Filed with the Trade and Companies Register, they are public and enforceable against third parties. The lawyer advises on the corporate form, drafts the articles and coordinates incorporation with the notary.
