Frequently Asked Questions

How long does company formation take?

When the documents are ready, incorporation can be completed quickly; however, the timeframe varies by company type and the specific case. We recommend obtaining expert advice for precise information.

Why is due diligence important in M&A?

Due diligence reveals the target company's legal, financial and commercial risks in advance and enables the transaction price and contract terms to be set correctly.

Should a commercial dispute go to litigation or arbitration?

This depends on the contract, the nature of the dispute and expectations regarding confidentiality and speed. Every dispute is unique; we assess the most suitable path together.

What is the most common mistake in commercial contracts?

Inadequate drafting of liability, penalty clauses, dispute resolution and termination provisions is among the most common risks.
