BUSINESS LAW

Civil and commercial contracts

The interests of a natural person or those of a company are protected whenever lawyers are involved in drawing up and negotiating contracts.

Lawyers are engineers whose legal training and professional practice are particularly accurate. Therefore, they are the most eligible experts for legal intervention.

Our law firm provides legal advice to clients and helps them choose, draw up, negotiate and conclude civil and commercial contracts in accordance with French, Luxembourg and international laws.

Incorporating and reorganising companies

Our law firm helps reorganise companies after understanding the clients’ main goals and analysing applicable regulations. Our lawyers provide clients with solutions which either introduce new Luxembourgish structures to their companies, or create a subsidiary or branch company. Luxembourg has just integrated the European Company statute (SE) into its legislation, which may constitute another option for clients. Our lawyers take charge of incorporating companies in accordance with French and Luxembourg laws and also other countries such as BVI and Panama. Our law firm may provide a permanent management and/or directorship of the company as well as its domiciliation.

Auditing

Our law firm may conduct legal audits, organise and supervise the audit of an existing French or Luxembourg company in preparation for an acquisition of interests or full acquisition.

Acquisition of interests

Our lawyers set up the legal framework for the client’s project and provide the implementation and organisation of the acquisition of interests. They also oversee this process by constantly interacting with local partners such as administrative services, notaries and statutory auditors and accountants.

Business criminal law

Lawyers from the VILRET-AVOCATS firm are able to assist clients in matters of business criminal law if burning issues arise and if these are related to existing cases in Luxembourg or France.

The right place to welcome foreign clients

We are also able to work with foreign clients and/or their companies. To facilitate the clients’ relationships with banks, wealth managers, insurance companies and Luxembourg administrative services, we provide a complete control and follow-up of the process.

Relocating in Luxembourg

The taxation reform of January 2006 about resident natural persons in Luxembourg now challenges Belgian and Swiss tax residence laws.
