Borius
Consulting focuses on corporate law as its main area of business. Our lawyers
boast huge experience and legal intuition in this area, which allows us to
render top-quality services.
Borius
Consulting lawyers have a proven track record of success in this field – we
have contributed to introducing over 100 business entities into the Belarusian
economy and have supervised a large number of corporate transactions and
reorganizations.
This type of
legal services is highly sought after by both Belarusian and foreign clients,
as managers and owners of businesses often need guidance on a broad range of matters
when starting a business or running one.
Where a new
company is founded, it is important to consider business start-up requirements,
appropriate business legal structure, available methods of forming the core capital,
and competences of corporate management bodies. Even preparing a suite of
documents for state registration or choosing the location for a new business
will be better done with the help of a legal adviser. Experienced lawyers will
effortlessly tackle such intricate issues as drawing up the articles of association
or consideration of all tax implications of a business scheme.
Expansion efforts
can be cumbersome, unless you’ve secured the backing of a reliable legal
adviser. Acquisition of an existing business or separate assets, elaboration of
an investment project, or a merger and acquisition transaction will require development
of a transaction structure, negotiations and implementation of the chosen
scheme. If you’re going to establish a representative office of a firm in the
Republic of Belarus, an accreditation procedure will have to be carried out at
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Due diligence
of a target company is a standard procedure before making any major business
decision. Whether you’re investing in or buying a business, an audit of
corporate documents will reveal the soundness of constituent, registration,
approval and other documents and how they comply with the applicable law. Audit
of contract work and financial analysis will add more reliability for an
investor, as these procedures will show the accuracy of past transactions,
accounting and other documentation, revealing any potential risks for the
subsequent proprietor.
