Setting up a company and running it involve many complex legal issues. From drafting the company's articles of association and concluding a shareholders' agreement to resolving conflicts between partners and bringing the liability of the directors into play, it is crucial to be able to rely on the sound advice of a corporate law attorney.
Maître Pierre DEBUISSON and his firm are by your side at every key stage of your company's life in Toulouse, backed by their solid experience in business law.
One of the key decisions when launching your business is choosing the legal structure of your company. SARL, SAS, SA... There are many options, each with specific implications regarding taxation, governance, and liability. Maître DEBUISSON can help you understand the situation and select the most suitable corporate structure for your objectives.
Drawing up your articles of association is another important step in setting up your company or Toulouse. As the 'Constitution' of your company, this contractual document must be drafted with the utmost care. It covers share capital, operating rules for management bodies and entry and exit procedures for partners. A corporate lawyer like Maître DEBUISSON will guide you through the process to ensure that nothing is left to chance.
Finally, in certain cases, it may be advisable to draw up a shareholders' agreement in addition to the company's articles of association to govern relations between associates. For example, this document can be used to set out inalienability, approval or pre-emption clauses to ensure capital stability. Once again, a lawyer's legal eye is invaluable in securing your interests.
