Jaime Roriz Lawyers

Legal support in the creation, organisation and legal management of companies

Setting up a company requires important decisions about the legal form, articles of association, share capital, management, shareholders’ participation and the company’s operating rules. A well-defined structure from the outset can help prevent disputes, reduce risk and facilitate business growth. We assist with the preparation and review of corporate documents, analysis of legal obligations, support with changes to the company and ongoing legal assistance to small and medium-sized enterprises. Our approach is geared towards providing legal certainty for business decisions and enabling the company to carry on its activities with greater predictability.

Areas of practice

We act at different stages of a company’s life, from incorporation through to the ongoing legal support of its business activities.

We support companies and shareholders from the initial incorporation stage through to internal organisation, contracts, corporate changes and the day-to-day legal needs of the business.

Choosing the appropriate structure

We assess the activity, the shareholders’ objectives and the company’s needs in order to define the most suitable legal structure.

We identify legal risks in contracts, corporate decisions, relationships between shareholders and the company’s obligations.

Ongoing legal support

We provide support on the company’s day-to-day matters, helping with legally sound decision-making.

Frequently asked questions

We answer some of the most frequently asked questions about company incorporation, internal organisation, shareholder agreements and ongoing legal support for SMEs.

What type of company should I set up?

The choice depends on the business activity, number of shareholders, desired liability, available capital, growth objectives and tax framework. A legal assessment helps identify the most suitable structure for the project.

The articles of association should set out elements such as the company name, registered office, corporate purpose, share capital, quotas or shares, management, manner of binding the company, and the essential rules governing its operation. In some cases, it may be advisable to supplement these with a shareholders’ agreement.

Yes. Regular legal support helps prevent risks, review contracts, manage disputes, comply with legal obligations and make business decisions with greater confidence.

The articles of association govern the company’s formal structure and are registered. A shareholders’ agreement may complement that framework by setting internal rules on management, shareholder exit, transfer of holdings, investment, confidentiality or dispute resolution.
