Corporate Law, Advisory and Litigation

Supporting your company throughout its life cycle, from formation to transformation.

Our approach

Corporate law is a core area of excellence at COTEG Avocats. Our firm advises entrepreneurs, directors and shareholders at every stage of corporate life: formation, day-to-day operations, governance, evolution, and where necessary, the resolution of shareholder disputes.

We provide company secretarial services to numerous companies (SAS, SARL, SA, SCI, holding companies), draft shareholders' agreements and management agreements, organise general meetings and ensure compliance of corporate documents. Our approach combines technical rigour with a thorough understanding of the specific challenges facing each type of structure.

In contentious matters, our team handles shareholder disputes, directors' liability claims, challenges to general meeting resolutions and dissolution proceedings. This expertise has been recognised by the Palmarès du Droit, which awarded COTEG Avocats Gold in corporate law.

Our aim is to offer accessible, tailored legal support suited to the size and challenges of your business, whether a family-owned SME or a structured group.
