Legal services for companies
Commercial company law is the area of law that regulates the creation, transformation, operation and dissolution of various forms of companies engaged in business activities. Thanks to these regulations, it is possible to determine what are the rights and obligations of partners, shareholders or partners in a given company. In Polish law there are two main types of commercial companies: capital and partnership. Capital companies are the joint-stock company, the simple joint-stock company and the limited liability company. Partnerships include general partnership, partnership, limited partnership and limited joint-stock partnership. A separate category is the civil partnership, which is not subject to the regime of the Commercial Companies Code.
Commercial company law establishes the rules concerning share capital, liability of partners, distribution of profits and losses, as well as the rules of company management. This law aims to protect the interests of both companies and their shareholders and to ensure transparency and legality of business activities. It also introduces procedures for the registration and liquidation of commercial companies, as well as the resolution of disputes between partners.
Lawyer for legal services to commercial companies
The start of any business venture begins with the choice of an appropriate organisational and legal form. The choice of a particular operating model has significant consequences for many aspects of the business. Business forms differ in terms of duties towards the pension authority, taxation, decision-making and representation. Significant differences also exist in the area of liability for incurred liabilities.
The choice of organisational and legal form for almost any enterprise is arbitrary. However, depending on the purpose of the venture, some solutions will be more or less optimal for financial or organisational reasons. Some activities, such as banking or insurance services or even the liberal professions, have a limited choice of legal form.
