The corporate legal cycle as a basis
We at SEQUOIA support your company along the entire cycle ? from foundation, to establishment, to restructuring, succession and dissolution. In all phases, we support you and your company in word and deed and convince you with pragmatic legal solutions that also make economic sense.
Foundation
The successful establishment of your company requires strategic planning, because the choice of the right legal form depends, among other things, on the type of business. After the foundation, it is advisable to create a set of basic contract templates in order to be able to document business transactions properly in the future.
What happens after the foundation?
Expansion
The business idea is developed further. Due to the increasing complexity, contract templates have to be revised and cooperation agreements drawn up. Success often brings envious people onto the scene, which is why any civil lawsuits must be conducted in order to fend off or enforce claims.
What could happen next?
Company structuring
With growth, complexity can lead to confusion, which in turn brings risks. The structure of your company needs to be reviewed and adapted. Simple cooperations from the establishment can lead to a joint venture. Cooperation within a group or the opening up of foreign markets requires tax planning and examination.
And so it could go on...
Restructuring
Your company can be adapted to current needs. If your company was initially incorporated as an LLC, it can be efficiently converted into an Ltd. Individual branches or divisions of the business that no longer fit into your company for strategic reasons can be split off. A complex group of companies can be simplified by having individual companies merged.
What can come next?
Company succession
Often the original founder asks himself after some time what is to become of the company when he retires. Perhaps a member of the management is available or perhaps an interesting opportunity arises to sell the company to a third party.
Worst case, but not excluded...
Resolution
Finally, the question arises as to whether the company should be dissolved at the end of its life cycle in an orderly or voluntary manner or whether bankruptcy must be initiated. Various legal provisions provide clear guidelines on how the company is to be dissolved.
