CERNOLAW FIRM

Corporate law

Corporate lawyer in Luxembourg

The firm supports the formation, structuring and legal life of Luxembourg companies: articles of association, shareholders' agreements, governance, transfers and restructurings.

Luxembourg is one of the most attractive jurisdictions in Europe for structuring a business or wealth. The key is to choose the right form and to draft solid instruments.

The firm helps you incorporate your company, organise the relationships between shareholders and secure capital transactions.

The need

The choice of corporate form, the drafting of the articles, the allocation of capital and governance: these decisions shape the company for the long term.

Standard articles or a missing shareholders' agreement are a frequent source of future deadlock.

The risk

Shareholder conflicts with no exit clause, poorly framed director liability, irregular capital transactions.

An unsuitable structure can complicate a future fundraising or sale.

The firm anticipates exit scenarios, the entry of investors and succession.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which company form should I choose in Luxembourg?

The right company form depends on your project, the number of shareholders, the capital and your tax objectives. The SARL suits most SMEs; the SOPARFI is used for holding participations.

Is a shareholders' agreement mandatory?

No, a shareholders' agreement is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended whenever there is more than one shareholder: it organises decisions, exits and the resolution of deadlock.

Does the firm handle the RCS and RBE formalities?

Yes, the firm handles the formalities and coordinates the notary's involvement where it is required.
