Legal services for companies and entrepreneurs
Managing and resolving various legal matters is an integral part of a company’s daily operations and an entrepreneur’s everyday life. These issues often require swift action. The lawyers at Tuokko have extensive and versatile experience in providing companies and private individuals with legal advice. Our lawyers apply an efficient and solution-oriented approach to our clients’ legal matters, while carefully taking all relevant aspects into account. This enables companies and entrepreneurs to dedicate more time and energy to their core business activities.
Contracts, corporate law matters, and taxation often intersect with family and wealth management arrangements. At Tuokko, our experts have comprehensive expertise across all types of taxation, including income tax, VAT, and gift and inheritance tax. Taking tax implications into account in all legal services enables us to provide the most optimal solution for each situation.
Legal matters related to the daily operations of a company
In daily business operations, legal matters may concern areas such as contracts, corporate governance, or employment relationships. Typical situations in which we have assisted companies include:
- Corporate governance documents, such as minutes of meetings and amendments to the articles of association
- Regulatory filings, such as notifications submitted to the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH)
- Drafting and reviewing contracts, including sale and purchase agreements and employment contracts
- Employment-related matters
- Dispute resolution
- Company formation and dissolution
Corporate transactions and structural changes
Changes in a company’s structure, ownership, or operations — such as international expansion or scaling up operations — require careful planning and legal expertise. We have assisted our clients in matters including:
- Mergers, demergers, and share exhanges
- Changes in the company’s legal form
- Advisory services in mergers and acquisitions
- Succession processes and other arrangements supporting the continuity of business operations
- Drafting and reviewing shareholder agreements and other corporate law agreements
Such situations often require a careful tax assessment to ensure that the outcome is both commercially sound and tax efficient. At Tuokko, legal and tax expertise go hand in hand — we identify the tax implications at each stage of the process and factor them into our advice throughout the engagement.
Legal services for entrepreneurs
Business activities are inevitably connected to the entrepreneur’s personal life. The personal and business spheres of an entrepreneur’s life are often intertwined and should be addressed in an integrated manner when planning asset management, family matters, and ownership structures. We provide legal assistance in situations where well-structured arrangements support both the business operations and the personal interests of the entrepreneur and their close family members, including:
- Contracts and arrangements related to personal wealth management
- Family and inheritance law documents, such as prenuptial agreements and wills
- Estate inventories, division of property, and distribution of inheritance
- Dispute resolution
- Other general legal services
