The Zilver Law Firm provides legal services to businesses at all possible stages of their activity. At the same time, the tasks and the form of cooperation can be completely different:
- Registration actions with LLC/JSC/FLP
Every business is subject to state registration, as well as subsequent changes of address, business activity (so-called “KVED”), list of shareholders or management, amendments to constituent documents, reorganization of the company. Despite their apparent simplicity, such registration actions require qualification and careful preparation, especially when it comes to the purchase and sale of corporate rights (shares), mergers and acquisitions, withdrawal from a company or spin-off of a company. In such cases it is important not only to comply with the formal requirements for registration of changes, but also to carry out preparatory work in the field of tax, labor, currency law, etc. And legal work with the State Securities Committee requires special qualifications.

- Retainer services
Legal retainer services for companies include the provision of ongoing oral and written advice on labor law, tax law, financial and currency law, intellectual property law, as well as legal analysis or drafting of contracts (supply, services, loan/credit, etc.), drafting of internal company documentation (internal labor regulations, collective labor agreement, staffing table, rules for working with computer equipment, rules for moving inventory within the company, drafting of employment contracts and agreements on full financial responsibility), conducting labor audits (regarding compliance with labor standards legislation and labor protection legislation), etc. Within the framework of the legal service, at least one lawyer from the Zilver law firm is assigned to each company and, if necessary, other specialists are involved in the work (taking into account specialization and experience). In this way, the lawyers complement each other and replace each other during vacations, etc. For more information on legal services for companies, click here.
- Drafting and reviewing contracts
Our lawyers will advise you and help you draft a contract on any subject that interests you. These may be commercial contracts (supply contracts, service contracts, work contracts, transport contracts), IT contracts (software development agreements, contracts for the transfer of intellectual property rights, license agreements, NDAs), internet services contracts (public offer contracts), civil agreements (agreements for the sale and purchase of property, assignment of claims), family contracts (marriage contracts, contracts for the division of property, agreements for the upbringing of children), and so on.

You can read more about the work on the contract by clicking on the link.
- Tax planning
A well-planned business organization allows you to reduce the tax burden while complying with tax laws. By studying the client’s business in detail and taking into account the client’s wishes, our lawyers help to optimize the company’s tax burden.
- Defense before regulatory authorities and courts
Our attorneys prepare the company and/or its employees for inspections (tax, labor, etc.) and investigations by law enforcement agencies, provide legal assistance during inspections or investigations, and help contest the results of inspections and investigations in administrative and judicial proceedings.

In case of conflicts between the founders (participants, shareholders) of the company, the lawyers advise on the prospects of litigation, develop and propose peaceful ways of resolving the issue, participate in negotiations, draft and agree the texts of agreements with the opposing party, and, if necessary, represent interests before courts and other state bodies in order to protect the company or its (co-)owner.
