What does it consist of?

The deed of incorporation of a company is the legal act by which a business entity acquires legal personality, enabling it to operate independently of its partners. For limited liability companies, this protection is effective immediately upon signing the deed.

Additionally, remember that these services can be carried out through videoconference.

Types of Corporate Legal Services

Incorporation of Companies
This process involves the legal establishment of a business entity, granting it independent legal status from its shareholders, allowing it to operate legally. It is recommended to provide a beneficial ownership certificate along with the incorporation of a company, as this document will be necessary for the company to perform any significant tax-related actions.
Appointment and Removal of Administrators
The deed for the appointment of an administrator is the document in which new members are designated to the governing body. In contrast, the deed of removal is used to change or annul prior appointments.
Changes of Registered Office
This involves modifying the company's statutes to relocate its headquarters, either within the country or abroad.
Sale of Shares and Social Participations
This agreement formalizes the sale of a partner's entire or partial shareholding in the company in exchange for compensation.
Modification of the Articles of Association
This process updates a company's articles of association through social agreements registered in public deeds.
Capital Increases and Reductions
This documentation records social agreements to increase or decrease the capital of a company. The deed should specify the amount by which capital is to be modified, the method of change, the entry or exit of new partners, and any restrictions on certain rights.
Mergers
A merger consists of the combination of the assets, rights, obligations, and contractual relationships of two or more companies into one entity.
Demergers
A process by which part of a company’s assets and liabilities are transferred to another entity, leaving the original company with only the untransferred portion.
Changes of Corporate Type
This involves changing the type of company (e.g., Limited Liability Company, Public Limited Company, Collective Company, etc.) via a formal social agreement documented in a public deed.
Dissolution and Liquidation of Companies
This process finalizes the life cycle of a company, leading to its legal extinction, which requires settling its debts and distributing any remaining assets among shareholders, all formalized in a public deed.
