Set-up of Legal Entities

Our Services / Practice Area / Set-up of Legal Entities

Some say that big things often have small beginnings. Our corporate team provides assistance in the incorporation of legal entities and branches. Our services cover the whole process from analyzing the most suitable legal form of business through to post-incorporation practicalities, such as opening bank accounts, VAT registration, and other requirements. Our clients enjoy our one-stop-shop approach to taking care of all the legal, tax, and social security matters as well as the coordination of tasks related to human resources and office leasing with the help of trusted partners.
