Our support
We initially supported the founders in all the operations involved in negotiating and triggering the liquidity clauses in the shareholders' agreement. Our lawyers and experts analyzed the legal, tax and regulatory implications of the operation and carried out an internal audit of the business and structure.
We also advised the founders on the valuation of the company and put in place an exit strategy that considered the tax implications for the founders.
