Lawyers for corporate structuring

Corporate groups, family-owned businesses and SMEs all instruct CMS lawyers for corporate structuring when establishing or structuring a company. 

We set up appropriate structures as the foundation for good corporate governance, with our specialists also being tasked with continuously adapting these structures as the market environment or the actors involved change. Our corporate structuring teams also advise partnerships and corporations on proactive succession planning to ensure the long-term survival of the business. 

The CMS lawyers for corporate structuring offer their clients in-depth specialist knowledge and experience in company formation, transformation, restructuring, joint ventures and acquisitions. They advise on issues relating to corporate governance and the liability of company organs and also on disputes between shareholders. 

Our lawyers for corporate structuring are available to answer your questions at all times – their contact details are listed below.
