Practices

Corporate 

Let’s leave aside simple case of establishing a limited liability company or changing the director. That does not describe the legal practice in Albania. 

Our legal practice covers clients who have reached the point when they control a list of companies, and even more complicated, they control it not on their own but share their rights and obligations with fellow shareholders.

It is expected that the body of corporate law allows for efficient, predictable and secure agreements and relationships. In practice, the Albanian law provides a framework with many unanswered questions. The higher the value of assets, the more one should deal, in a professional, diligent and proactive manner with the following issues:

• Corporate governance and management issues;
• Majority and minority protection;
• Privileged shares;
• Capital increase and anti-dilution clauses;
• Group cascade, horizontal planning and vertical planning;
• Share options;
• Enforcement tools.

Through utilizing corporate law, corporations can determine how best to protect the interests of their shareholders and facilitate commercial transactions with customers and lenders.
