Q: What does a corporate and business lawyer do?

A: Corporate and business lawyers advise companies on strategic and legal decisions, including corporate structuring, contracts, mergers and acquisitions, governance and risk prevention, while protecting the business and its shareholders.

Q: What is the difference between business law and corporate law?

A: Corporate law is a branch of business law focused on relationships among shareholders and on a company’s corporate structure. Business law is broader and also encompasses contracts, M&A transactions and the company’s activities as a whole.

Q: When does my company need due diligence?

A: Whenever a material transaction is contemplated, such as acquiring or selling a company, receiving an investment or entering into a significant partnership. Due diligence identifies risks and liabilities before a decision is made.

Q: Why have a shareholders’ agreement?

A: Because it establishes clear rules on decision-making, the admission and withdrawal of shareholders, profit distributions and deadlock resolution, helping prevent disputes and protect all parties involved.

Q: What is the difference between a greenfield and a brownfield project?

A: A greenfield project is developed from the ground up, with no pre-existing structure. A brownfield project involves an existing asset or operation that is acquired, expanded or reconfigured. Each requires a different legal strategy and due diligence process.

Q: How does business law help reduce contractual risk?

A: It provides clearer clauses, allocates responsibilities, protects assets and helps prevent future disputes in strategic negotiations and day-to-day operations.

Q: When should legal counsel be engaged for mergers and acquisitions?

A: Ideally, counsel should be involved from the outset, because early involvement improves due diligence, strengthens negotiations and reduces the risk of undisclosed liabilities in the acquisition or sale of a company.

Q: Why is corporate governance important for privately held companies?

A: It establishes rules for decision-making, transparency and oversight among shareholders and officers, preventing internal disputes and providing a stronger foundation for growth and investment.
