Step-by-step plan for corporate law attorney
The corporate law attorneys at Law & More use the following method:
Acquaintance
Curious about what Law & More can do for you and your company? Please contact Law & More. You can get acquainted with and submit your question to our lawyers by telephone or e-mail. If desired, they will schedule an appointment for you at the Law & More office.
Discussing the case
During the appointment at the office, we will get to know you further, we will discuss the background of your question and what the possible solutions are in the legal matter of your company. The lawyers of Law & More also indicate what they can do for you in concrete terms and what your possible next steps can be.
Step-by-step plan
When you instruct Law & More to represent your interests, our lawyers will draw up a contract for services. This agreement describes the arrangements they have previously discussed with you. Your assignment will usually be carried out by the lawyer you have had contact with.
Handling the case
The way in which your case is handled depends on your legal question, which may relate to, for example, drawing up advice, assessing a contract, or conducting legal proceedings. At Law & More, we understand that every client and his or her business is different. That is why we use a personal approach. Our lawyers always strive to resolve any legal matter quickly.
Starting a business
If you want to start your own business, you must choose a legal form for your company. You can opt for a legal form with or without legal personality. This choice determines the legal structure of your company.
Corporate law lawyer helps determine legal form
If you opt for a legal form with legal personality, your company can participate independently in legal transactions, just like a natural person can. Your company can then conclude agreements as such, have assets and debts and be held liable.
Examples of legal entities with legal personality are:
- the private limited company (B.V.)
- the public limited company (N.V.)
- the foundation
- the union
- the cooperative
The B.V. and the N.V. are often used for a company with a commercial purpose. If your company has a more idealistic goal, it may be an option to set up a foundation and link a company to it. At a B.V. or a N.V., it is necessary to attract shareholders. However, it is also possible that you yourself become (sole) shareholder of the company. You can also read more about the aforementioned legal forms in our blog ‘Which legal form do I choose for my company?’.
When there is a relationship with shareholders, it is of great importance that this relationship is properly recorded. It is wise to have a shareholders’ agreement drawn up for this. Law & More’s corporate lawyers can help you draft or assess a shareholders’ agreement.
Corporate law attorney assists in registering a company
However, it is also possible to opt for a legal form without legal personality, such as a general partnership or a partnership. With these legal forms it is important that good agreements are made between the partners or partners, which are laid down in a partnership agreement, for example. The choice of a legal form has a direct influence on matters such as financing and liability. If you opt for a legal form without legal personality, your company cannot participate in legal transactions independently and you are, for example, liable with your private assets for the debts that your company incurs.
Examples of legal forms without legal personality are:
- the sole proprietorship
- the general partnership (VOF)
- the limited partnership (CV)
- the partnership
You can read exactly what these legal entities entail and what the advantages and disadvantages are in our blog ‘Which legal form do I choose for my company?’.
Law & More’s corporate lawyers can help you choose the right legal form. Law & More’s corporate lawyers will work with you to determine which legal form is most suitable for your company. When the desired legal structure has been clearly mapped out, the company must be established and registered with the Chamber of Commerce. Law & More coordinates this process for you.
Contract law within business law
Once the company has been established and set up, you can start to carry out your business activities. However, you will notice that legal aspects also play a major role here. For example, before entering into relationships with customers, you may be required to provide confidential information. In that case, it is advisable to draw up a non-disclosure agreement. It is then important to record all agreements with customers or suppliers in an agreement. Drawing up general terms and conditions can contribute to this. The corporate law attorneys at Law & More can draw up and assess contracts and general terms and conditions for you, so that you are not faced with any surprises.
Even if everything in the legal field is properly arranged within your company, there is unfortunately still the possibility that the counterparty does not want to cooperate or does not comply with its agreements. In order not to damage the relationship with customers or suppliers, it is recommended to first come to an amicable solution. A Law & More lawyers can assist you in this process. However, if it is not possible to resolve a dispute, legal action may need to be taken. Law & More has extensive experience in conducting legal proceedings in corporate law and does everything it can to achieve an optimal result for you.
In the field of contracts in the context of corporate law, you can contact Law & More with questions about:
- drafting and assessing contracts;
- terminating contracts;
- drafting a written notice of default in the event of non-compliance with a contract;
- resolving disputes arising from the conclusion of a contract;
- negotiating the content of contracts.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Merger
Are you planning to merge your company with another company, for example because you want to grow your company? Then there are three ways companies can merge:
- the company merger
- the stock merger
- the legal merger
Which merger is most suitable for your company depends on your specific situation. A corporate law attorney or a corporate law attorney from Law & More can advise you on this.
Takeover
It is of course also possible that another company is interested in your company and that you are offered to sell your company to another company. Are you positive about the takeover and are you considering a business transfer? We can support you in negotiating as well as providing advice in advance. If not, it could be a hostile takeover. We speak of a hostile takeover if a company does not cooperate in the sale of its shares and another company, i.e., the acquirer, turns to the shareholders themselves. We know how your company can be protected against this and can therefore also provide you with legal assistance in this case.
Due diligence
In addition, Law & More can assist you if you intend to take over a company. When you buy another company as a company, it is essential that you carry out due diligence. You want all the information you need to make a well-informed decision about a merger or acquisition. Would you like to know more about this? Law & More’s corporate lawyers are at your service.
Collaborate with Another Company
As a company, do you intend to collaborate with other companies in order to maintain your position in the market? Or are you planning to enter a new market? If you want to form a strategic alliance, we can advise you on the risks and benefits. In addition, we can look with you at which forms of cooperation are appropriate. Would you like to know more about this? Please contact the corporate law attorneys at Law & More.
Intellectual property for businesses
As an entrepreneur, your intellectual property is one of your most valuable assets. Law & More can help you protect and enforce your intellectual property rights. We assist with:
- Trademark law: registration and protection of your brand name, logo or slogan
- Patent law: protection of inventions and technical innovations
- Copyright: advice on copyright in creative works, software and texts
- Trade name law: protection of your business name
- Infringement and enforcement: action against unlawful use of your intellectual property
Do you have questions about protecting your intellectual property? Law & More’s corporate lawyers are ready to help you.
Debt collection and dispute resolution
Unfortunately, unpaid invoices and commercial disputes are a common part of doing business. Law & More can assist you at every stage of the debt collection process:
- Notice of default: drafting formal demands for payment
- Amicable debt collection: recovering debts without going to court
- Judicial debt collection: legal proceedings to enforce payment
- Commercial disputes: resolving disputes with customers, suppliers or partners
- Shareholder disputes: resolving conflicts between shareholders or directors
- Injunctive relief (kort geding): urgent legal action when immediate action is required
Would you like assistance with debt collection or a commercial dispute? Contact Law & More’s corporate lawyers today.
Liability claims in corporate law
In the course of doing business, you may face liability issues — either as the claimant or as the party being held liable. Law & More assists companies, directors and shareholders across a wide range of liability claims:
- Director’s liability: defence or claims regarding mismanagement, both inside and outside bankruptcy (Articles 2:9 and 2:248 of the Dutch Civil Code).
- Contractual liability: damage claims arising from breach of contract or non-performance of agreements.
- Tort (non-contractual) liability: claims based on wrongful acts between companies.
- Product liability: assistance when a supplied product causes damage.
- Shareholder and corporate disputes: liability claims between shareholders, partners or directors.
Whether you need to recover damages or defend against a claim, our lawyers assess your position, conduct negotiations and litigate where necessary — always focused on the best outcome for your business.

• Mediation. Entering into a discussion with the shareholders within your company is usually the first step. Perhaps a difference of opinion between the shareholders can be resolved in a simple manner so that you can quickly resume the normal course of business within your company. This is of course also possible under the guidance of an independent and impartial mediator. Mediation is often faster and cheaper than starting a lawsuit. You can also find more information about mediation on our page: https://lawandmore.eu/mediation/
• Legal dispute settlement. It is possible that your company’s articles of association or the shareholders’ agreement as such already provide for a settlement in the event of shareholder disputes. In that case, it is wise to implement such a dispute settlement procedure. If the articles of association or the shareholders’ agreement do not contain a dispute settlement scheme, you can still follow the statutory dispute settlement scheme. A distinction is made here between the possibility of expulsion or disengagement. For both options, you must convince the judge with evidence of the need for expulsion or disengagement. Would you like to know what these options mean and whether you can use them in your case? Please contact Law & More. Our lawyers are happy to provide you with advice.
• Survey procedure. The purpose of this procedure, which is followed in the Enterprise Chamber at the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, is to restore good relations within the company, including between the shareholders. The Enterprise Section may be requested to investigate the company and to request an immediate measure, for example the (temporary) suspension of decisions. The investigation and its outcome are recorded in a report. If it is established that there has been mismanagement, the Enterprise Section will have far-reaching powers, so that in that case you can even request the dissolution of the company.
Would you like to know the best way to resolve a shareholder dispute within your company? Please contact the corporate lawyers of Law & More. Our lawyers are happy to provide you with advice and, if necessary, also guide your company through a mediation process.
