Corporate and Commercial Law
As a company grows, so does the number of legal decisions: from contracts and governance to investments and transactions. We help you assess and prepare these decisions so that the legal solution supports your business goals.
How we can help
- Corporate governance: we advise on the company's governance structure, the work of the management and supervisory boards, and relations between shareholders. We also assist with corporate reorganisations: mergers, divisions and conversions.
- Commercial contracts: we draft and review contracts with customers, suppliers and business partners, and assist in negotiating their terms. We also draft franchise agreements and franchise systems.
- Mergers and acquisitions: we assist at every stage of the transaction: we carry out legal due diligence, structure the deal, prepare the transaction documents and see it through to closing.
- Investments and cross-border transactions: we help raise investment, prepare investor and founder agreements and set up joint ventures. We also advise on fund investments and transactions with foreign partners, taking financial and capital markets regulation into account.
Our approach
In each matter we involve the colleagues whose expertise is most useful in the situation. As the work progresses we take your objectives, timelines and budget into account, and we discuss the next steps together. Where needed, we also take part in negotiations and in putting decisions into practice.
We shape documents and structures around your actual situation. In more complex transactions we use a risk matrix that helps analyse risks faster and evaluate possible solutions.
Who we help
We work with companies, their shareholders and management on day-to-day corporate matters, contracts and transactions. We also advise foreign investors investing in Latvia and Latvian investors investing abroad.
Our experience in this area
2025USD 5 million investment in a venture capital fund
Finance and investment
In a cross-border transaction, we advised a professional investment manager on a USD 5 million investment in a new venture capital fund. The transaction involved legal, regulatory and compliance matters, as well as the establishment of financing, profit-sharing and governance structures.
To identify potential risks in a timely manner, we developed a risk matrix and structured the transaction process in accordance with the project timetable and the client's business interests. During negotiations, we advised the client on transaction documentation and coordinated all related matters. To improve efficiency, we also used legal AI tools, enabling faster risk analysis and assessment of possible solutions.
Following negotiations lasting several months, the documentation was completed and the investment was successfully implemented.
2025Establishing a franchise model for the growth of an entertainment business
Entertainment and services
A rapidly growing company in the entertainment sector wished to expand its operations by establishing a franchise model for its active leisure centres.
We developed the legal structure of the franchise system and prepared the franchise agreement and other required documentation. The aim was to create a clear legal basis for the company's growth and cooperation with future franchisees.
The client is already using the developed franchise system in its operations. The company's centres operate in two Latvian cities, and the first franchise agreement has been concluded.
