BMC’s business and corporate law practice accompanies companies, founders, and investors across all stages of the business life cycle — from incorporation to exit. We combine legal rigour with a business perspective so that every structure, contract, and corporate transaction is solidly built before the pressure arrives.
Company formation and corporate structuring
Choosing the right legal form and properly drafting the articles of association are decisions that shape tax treatment, shareholder liability, and investment capacity for years:
- Company formation: Formation of SL with bespoke articles of association, from the notarial draft to Mercantile Registry inscription and CIF issuance.
- Shelf companies: Acquisition of already-registered companies for urgent operations that cannot wait for the standard formation timeline.
- Corporate transactions: Mergers, spin-offs, transformations, capital contributions, and complex restructurings with full tax and registry coordination.
Commercial contracts and business relationships
- Commercial contracts: Drafting and review of distribution, agency, franchise, SaaS, joint venture, NDA, and international framework agreements.
- Shareholders agreement: Shareholders agreements that regulate transfers, exit mechanisms, conflicts of interest, working-shareholder remuneration, and investor entry.
- Unfair competition: Defence and claims for acts of unfair competition, product imitation, unlawful comparative advertising, and misappropriation of trade secrets.
Corporate governance and startup equity
- Corporate governance compliance: Board regulations, conflict of interest policies, strategic decision protocols, and alignment with CNMV governance recommendations.
- Startup vesting cliff: Equity structuring for startups — cliff vesting, phantom shares, option schemes — for founders, directors, and key employees.
- Commercial law: Recurring commercial law advisory, negotiation support, and commercial collaboration agreements.
