The creation of a company

The creation of a company, constituted in particular by the drafting of the company’s statutes, constitutes a strong and important act in the life of a company. Indeed, this is a founding act, and therefore determining, with regard to the legal and fiscal future of the company. The choice of the legal form, but also that of the tax regime, therefore requires the intervention of a tax lawyer.
