Use cases
When corporate work becomes critical
Corporate risks usually surface at the worst possible time — right before a transaction, fundraising or banking onboarding.
Building the foundation early prevents delays and painful rewrites.
Typical situations
- An investor requests a clean structure, cap table and a robust shareholders’ agreement.
- A deal or partnership requires an SPV and a clear set of obligations and protections.
- You need to carve out IP / assets into a separate layer and isolate liabilities.
- Reorganization: change of jurisdiction, asset transfer, shareholder replacement.
- Banks and payment partners request ownership mapping and governance documents.
Investments
M&A
SPV
Restructuring
Banking readiness
What you get
- A clear structure map (who owns what) and the role of each entity in the group.
- Corporate governance set: resolutions, board rules and authority matrix.
- Shareholders’ arrangements: control, exit, deadlock, options (if needed).
- Due diligence readiness: document list, gap-fixing plan and prioritization.
- A realistic sequence of steps, timelines and responsibilities.
If your structure is tied to licensing or a regulated activity, we pair it with our
Regulatory & Compliance practice.

Need a structure for a transaction or fundraising?
Share a short description: stakeholders, jurisdictions, assets and the next milestone
(fundraising, partnership, banking, reorganization). We will suggest a practical route and a concrete document list.
A short call is often enough to remove uncertainty and turn a “wish list” into a realistic plan.
Good starting points:
- “We need an SPV for an asset / transaction and a clear ownership map.”
- “We are drafting a shareholders’ agreement: control, options, exit and deadlock.”
- “An investor asked for due diligence readiness and corporate clean-up.”
- “We plan a restructuring and need to transfer assets / shareholders.”
We focus on cross-border corporate work for technology, regulated and investment-driven businesses.
