There are always many accounting issues, but some are more common. Maybe yours is among them, so check them out below. If you have not found the answer, please contact us and we will be happy to answer your questions.

What are the most common legal advisory services we provide to clients?

Contract conclusion establishes the desired mutual rights and obligations between the parties, whether B2B or other. However, contractual relationships may also cause some uncertainties and additional costs, in terms of what are the actual obligations of the parties, what happens if the other party violates the contract, the possibilities of contract termination, liability for damages, taxation, etc. Preparation of appropriate Contracts, Bylaws, Rules and Protocols is therefore of extreme importance and may avoid unnecessary risks, taxes and litigation costs.

Legal due diligence is both, a preventive and a diagnostic procedure of reviewing one’s legal relationships and documentation. The subject of a legal due diligence are usually all types of legal areas, such as commercial and contract law, labour law, collective agreements and payroll, real-estate, (in)solvency, tax law, and other. The goal is to find and recognize potential legal risks, losses, inequivalence of obligations, and identify non-compliance with the relevant legislation.
