What we do
At Vinci & Vinci, we assist in planning and implementing business succession processes, ensuring a smooth transfer of the enterprise to a new owner or family members. As part of our comprehensive approach to succession planning, we also support the establishment and ongoing legal servicing of family foundations, which effectively protect assets and ensure business continuity for future generations.
Our services include advisory support, preparation of documentation, tax optimization, assistance with reorganization, and representation in negotiations.
Business succession is a process involving the transfer of an enterprise to a new owner or the continuation of operations by a legal successor. It is a crucial stage in the life of any company and requires not only careful planning but also appropriate legal support to ensure business continuity and minimize risks associated with improper implementation.
- Succession planning – We assist entrepreneurs in designing succession processes that take into account legal, tax, and organizational aspects. We advise on how to transfer ownership smoothly while maintaining business stability. We establish family foundations, provide ongoing legal services for them, and conduct operational and statutory compliance audits.
- Preparation of documentation – We draft and review all documents necessary for the succession process, including donation agreements, wills, family foundation statutes, articles of association, bylaws, and other corporate documents. We also address matters related to asset management and the division of assets within the succession framework.
- Tax optimization – We provide advice on optimizing the tax aspects of succession, helping to minimize costs associated with the transfer of a business. Our expertise ensures that the succession process is both legally compliant and financially efficient.
- Support in managing structural changes – We assist in reorganizing company structures resulting from ownership changes, including amendments to agreements, statutes, and internal regulations. We help select the optimal structure for a family foundation, prepare founding documents, and provide guidance on ongoing operations and legal compliance.
- Representation and negotiations – We represent our clients in succession-related negotiations, assisting in agreeing on the terms of business transfer, whether in the case of family succession (including through a family foundation), sale of the company, or changes in ownership structure.
