STATUS TRANSFORMATION
Companies often face the question of how to continue their growth and increase competitiveness. One of the most effective tools is status transformation, particularly transforming a sole proprietorship (s.p.) into a capital company (such as an LLC or a joint-stock company), or transforming a cooperative into a business corporation.
Status transformations have many advantages:
- Limitation of personal liability (a capital company allows limiting liability to the invested capital);
- Expansion of business opportunities (greater access to financing and increased credibility with customers, suppliers, and partners);
- Flexibility in management and administration (management structure tailored to needs).
Our company stands by your side if you decide to undergo a status reorganization that will enable your company to utilize its full potential. Despite standard transformations, we analyze each company separately and advise you on the most optimal changes based on our analysis.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are a form of collaboration between the public sector (government or public bodies) and the private sector (companies or investors) for the implementation of projects that are in the public interest. Such partnerships are often formed to carry out infrastructure projects, such as the construction of roads, bridges, airports, schools, hospitals, water systems, and other public facilities.
Within public-private partnerships, long-term cooperation between public and private partners is typically established, combining financial resources, expertise, and management capabilities from both sides. The main goal is to ensure the efficient implementation of projects, reduce financial risks, increase the quality and scope of services, and achieve synergies between the public and private sectors.
In PPPs, the role of each partner can vary depending on the nature of the project.
Some possible forms of public-private partnerships (PPPs) include:
Concessions: A private partner obtains a concession to build, manage, and maintain public infrastructure or services for a specified period. In return, the private partner gains the right to operate the project, including collecting revenues.
Operational Partnerships: The public and private partners enter into an agreement to jointly manage and execute a project. Both parties share responsibilities and the profits or losses associated with the project.
Financial Partnerships: The private partner provides the financial resources to fund the project, while the public partner contributes land, infrastructure, or other resources. The private partner may have the right to a share of the project’s revenues.
Development Partnerships: The public and private partners collaborate on the development and planning of a project, with the public partner gaining expertise and experience from the private partner.
The advantages of public-private partnerships are primarily:
Access to private capital for project financing;
More efficient project execution and risk management;
Synergies between the public and private sectors, leading to better quality and innovation;
Sharing of costs and responsibilities among partners.
Competition Law
At our company, we offer a combination of expertise and experience in the field of national and European competition law. Competition law has been rapidly rising and developing worldwide in recent years, as it is crucial for promoting and maintaining effective competition, which benefits consumers through lower prices, greater choice, product quality, and market innovations.
Competition law, also known as antitrust law, is a legal field that regulates the behavior of companies in the market to promote competition, prevent the abuse of dominant positions, and protect the interests of consumers and the economic system as a whole. The main goal of competition law is to maintain an efficient and fair market environment.
We advise clients on recognizing potential exposure to allegations of competition law violations, assessing behaviors in terms of (un)permitted state aids, and resolving issues related to the obligation to notify concentrations. In addition to consulting, we also offer representation before state institutions, training, and review of all necessary documentation.
Commercial Law
The field of commercial law represents the foundation of operations for every company and is consequently of great importance. Commercial law, also known as corporate law, is a legal field that deals with the legal aspects of economic activities and regulates the relationships between companies, business entities, and other stakeholders in the economy.
In all matters of commercial law, we offer clients the arrangement of relationships between shareholders, preparation of various contracts, establishment of companies, statutory transformations of companies, transfer of companies to new generations, additional contributions, increase or decrease of share capital, buyback of own shares, and preparation of all necessary documentation for the implementation of all procedures.
Commercial law encompasses a wide range of legal areas, including:
Business Entities: Commercial law regulates the establishment, organization, operation, and dissolution of business entities such as joint-stock companies, limited liability companies, single-member limited liability companies, cooperatives, and other forms of business organizations. The rules of business entities include the rights and obligations of shareholders, directors, boards of directors, and other bodies within the company.
Contracts and Commercial Law: Commercial law regulates contracts and commercial transactions between companies, such as sales contracts, distribution agreements, franchise agreements, supply contracts, service contracts, lease agreements, and other forms of business agreements.
Intellectual Property: Commercial law protects intellectual property rights such as copyrights, patents, trademarks, designs, and other forms of intellectual property. These areas of law enable companies to protect their innovations, creative works, and trademarks from unauthorized use or infringement by others.
International Commercial Law: This area of law regulates international trade relations and transactions between countries and international organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO). International commercial law includes rules on customs duties, trade agreements, arbitration, international investments, and other aspects of international economic cooperation.
Consumer Protection: Commercial law also includes rules for protecting consumer rights in business transactions, such as the right to information, product safety, privacy protection, rights in contracting, and other issues related to consumer protection.
Competition Law: As mentioned above, competition law regulates market competition and prevents the abuse of dominant positions and restrictions on competition between companies. This includes prohibitions on cartel behavior, supervision of concentrations (mergers, acquisitions), prohibition of abuse of dominant positions, and protection of consumers from unfair competitive practices.
Tax Law: Commercial law intersects with tax law, which regulates the obligations of companies and business entities regarding taxes, such as income tax, corporate tax, VAT, and other forms of taxation.
Commercial law plays an important role in creating a legal framework that promotes a stable and efficient economic environment. It provides legal norms and regulatory mechanisms that protect the interests of companies, consumers, investors, and contribute to fair competition, growth, and economic development.

Contract Law
Contract law is a legal field that deals with the rules and regulations governing the conclusion, execution, and termination of contracts between parties. A contract is a legal instrument that establishes an obligatory relationship between parties, defining their rights, obligations, and the manner of fulfillment.
Contract law includes the following key aspects:
Conclusion of Contracts: Contract law defines the conditions and requirements for the valid conclusion of contracts. This includes the capacity of the parties to enter into contracts, the exchange of legal considerations (offer and acceptance), the form of the contract (which can be oral or written), and the possibility of negotiations and amendments to the terms.
Content of Contracts: Contract law specifies what a contract must contain to be legally valid. This includes the clear definition of the parties, the subject matter of the contract, the obligations of the parties, the conditions of fulfillment, payments, time frames, liability for breaches, and other key provisions.
Execution of Contracts: Contract law governs the execution of contracts, meaning that the parties fulfill their obligations in accordance with the agreed terms. This includes provisions on the timing of fulfillment, the method of payment, the delivery of goods or services, and possible sanctions for non-fulfillment of contractual obligations.
Amendment and Termination of Contracts: Contract law defines the conditions for the amendment and termination of contracts. This includes agreements on the amendment of terms, termination of the contract, termination of the contract due to breaches or force majeure, and other legal mechanisms for the amendment or termination of the contractual relationship.
Liability and Dispute Resolution: Contract law governs the liability of the parties for breach of contract and sets the rules for dispute resolution. This includes options for claims for damages, contractual penalties, arbitration procedures, and judicial protection in disputes between the parties.
Contract law varies between countries, as each country has its own legislation governing the conclusion and execution of contracts. It is important for the parties to carefully study and understand the legal provisions and, if necessary, consult with legal experts to ensure that the contracts are in compliance with the applicable legislation and adequately protect their interests.
In addition, contract law also includes other important aspects, such as the interpretation of contracts, adherence to good business practices, negotiations, and the resolution of any disputes between the parties. At the same time, contract law intersects with other legal fields, such as the law of obligations, property law, and intellectual property law, as contracts often contain provisions on these legal issues.
In contract law, it is important to understand that a concluded contract is binding and creates legal obligations between the parties. Therefore, it is crucial for the parties to be well-informed, understand the terms and conditions, and, if necessary, obtain legal advice before concluding a contract to ensure proper and effective execution of the contracts.

Legal Due Diligence
Our services include a detailed legal review of the company. We conduct such reviews for financial institutions, investors, or management boards that want to gain a comprehensive insight into the operations of companies. Often, management boards do not have sufficient insight into the operations of their own companies, so we provide them with a financial review, focusing on cash flow analysis.
Our goal is to conduct a thorough review of the company’s operations and assess its financial condition. Through precise cash flow analysis, we evaluate the company’s liquidity, identify potential cash flow issues, and recognize opportunities for improvement.
During the business review, we collect relevant financial data and information about the company’s operations. We thoroughly analyze financial statements, costs, revenues, investments, and other key factors. This provides us with insight into the company’s financial success, solvency, and sustainability.
After completing the review, we prepare a comprehensive report in which we present findings, recommendations, and possible measures to improve the company’s financial position and cash flow. Our report is intended for financial institutions, investors, or management boards, enabling them to better understand the company’s financial condition and make informed decisions.
Preparing independent business reviews is an important service as it allows for an objective insight into the company’s operations and the identification of financial risks and opportunities for improvement.
