Corporate law is the architecture of a business. Agreements, structures and resolutions must hold — in everyday operations, in crisis, and in court.
PACTUM advises entrepreneurs, shareholders and companies across the full spectrum of corporate law — from formation through articles of association, restructuring and resolutions to succession. The focus is on structures that hold economically and stand up legally — including if disputes arise later.
What we draft, we draft to withstand disputes. Every clause is written as if it might one day have to hold up in court — because the best articles of association are the ones nobody ever has to litigate over.
Drafting and amending articles of association for GmbH, GmbH & Co. KG and stock corporations — from formation to a fundamental restructuring of existing arrangements.
Mergers, demergers, conversions and accretion models — legally sound implementation under the German Transformation Act, coordinated with tax advisors.
Preparing and supporting shareholder meetings — convening, resolutions and minutes, including safeguarding critical resolutions against later challenge.
Service agreements, rules of procedure, allocation of responsibilities and remuneration arrangements for managing directors and executive board members — including appointment, removal and discharge.
Participation, voting and pooling agreements, transfer restrictions as well as pre-emption and tag-along rights — frameworks that keep the shareholder base stable.
Structuring succession under corporate law — transfer of shares, usufruct and foundation solutions as well as succession clauses, tailored to family and business.
We analyse the existing structure, agreements and shareholdings — and clarify what is to be achieved and what currently stands in the way.
We develop the target structure with clear alternatives — including the corporate, liability and tax consequences of each option.
We draft all agreements and resolutions completely and to withstand disputes — every clause worded so it still holds in ten years.
We negotiate with all parties involved, coordinate notary and registry, and carry the structuring through to signature — with no open points.
Commercial register, transparency register, follow-up adjustments — we support the structure beyond completion and keep it current as circumstances change.
Companies under ongoing advice — from the GmbH and GmbH & Co. KG to the stock corporation.
Mergers, conversions and accretion models over the past five years — from concept to registration.
Every mandate is personally led by Christoph Bubb — from the initial assessment to registration.
Talk to us before anything is signed or resolved. A sound structure is built at the outset — correcting it later always costs more than designing it right.
