COMPANY LAW

Company law is considered a traditional discipline in legal terms. The formation of a company is the most obvious way of commencing and carrying on a business activity.

However, and contrary to what may appear at the outset, company law does not end in something as limited as the formation of a company, but extends to the commercial and tax planning of each year of business activity, the maintenance and keeping up to date of the company's organs and books, the holding within the prescribed time limits of obligatory meetings such as the annual general meeting and meetings of the Board of Directors, all issues which are fundamental in the life of a company and which are usually subject to little or no attention, especially in small and medium sized enterprises.

ABOGADOS MB. MARTIN has since its foundation as a law firm been offering all of the foregoing legal services based on one fundamental principle, namely that the business, the limited company, must be in a position to dedicate most of its time and effort to its commercial or business activity, while at the same time complying with all legal requirements for the time being applicable in the sphere of company law.
