EXPERTISE · COMPANIES, CONTRACTS & TRANSACTIONS

Reliably aligning purpose and organisation in legal terms.

We advise associations, foundations, federations and charitable organisations on establishment, articles, governance, membership, regulations, conflicts and changes.

How can we support you?

An association or foundation is to be established

Purpose, structure, governing bodies, assets and founding documents must fit together.

What we do for you

Clearly defined services.

Establishment & structure

We assist with choosing the appropriate organisational form and prepare the necessary documents.

Articles & regulations

We formulate clear rules for purpose, membership, governing bodies, powers and procedures.

Governance & resolutions

We advise on meetings, elections, recusal, delegation and documentation.

Membership & conflicts

We assist with admission, exclusion, rights, obligations and internal disputes.

Change & dissolution

We support amendments to purpose, reorganisations, mergers and orderly wind-ups.

PURPOSE REQUIRES A FUNCTIONING FORM

Commitment alone is no substitute for clear rules.

Associations and foundations depend on trust, voluntary engagement and a shared direction. Precisely for that reason, powers, membership and decision-making processes must be comprehensible. Good governance protects the purpose and the people who uphold it.
