How we work
Our methodology for this service
Current governance diagnosis
We review the articles, shareholder agreements and existing decision-making structure to identify weaknesses, gaps and potential conflicts in the company's governance.
Governance model design
We propose a governance model adapted to the shareholder structure, the company's development stage and future financing needs, balancing control, flexibility and investor attractiveness.
Drafting and approval of documents
We draft or update the articles, shareholder agreement, board regulations, family protocols where applicable and other documents that form the backbone of the company's governance.
Implementation and monitoring
We support the board and shareholders in implementing the new governance model, monitoring the first decision-making cycles to ensure its effective application.
Who this is for
Family businesses needing to professionalise their corporate governance, startups preparing for funding rounds or institutional investor entry, and business groups seeking to strengthen stability and shareholder conflict management.
