The commercial law department at Dur\u00e1n-Sindreu provides general legal advice on every area of commercial practice and offers comprehensive solutions to the legal needs that arise from business activity.<\/p>

We provide a close, flexible commercial law advisory service, tailored to the client’s needs and with a high degree of specialisation, offering bespoke solutions and added value to traditional services through our team.<\/p>

Our experience shows that every business decision has significant legal implications that must be analysed and considered together with economic and financial aspects. That is why our approach in this area gives top priority to properly aligning business objectives with the regulatory framework in which our clients operate, providing services with a business mindset and a clear focus on results.<\/p>

Special mention should be made of compliance with the rules, principles and procedures that must govern the structure and operation of companies’ governing bodies (Corporate Governance). Our advice focuses on ensuring that the requirements of transparency, rigour and diligence set out by the applicable rules and prevailing court practice are met, in order to avoid liability for directors and officers and to safeguard their respective positions through the strictest compliance with the law.<\/p>

Our clients include large companies, major Spanish corporate groups, subsidiaries of international groups, family businesses, public-sector entities and entities in the so-called Third Sector.<\/p>

The practice area covers: (i) Corporate Law and Corporate Governance, (ii) Commercial Contracts, (iii) Listed Companies, (iv) Competition Law.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
