We work with Colombian and foreign entrepreneurs and investors throughout the life of their company: choosing the corporate vehicle, incorporation, contracts, day-to-day corporate housekeeping and, when the time comes, reorganisation, dissolution or liquidation.
Our multidisciplinary team also allows us to advise our clients on a range of matters such as the landing of investments in Colombia, corporate management and administration, and compliance with formal obligations, among others.
We incorporate your companies in Colombia or abroad, taking into account your specific needs and interests, as well as the scale of the operations you intend to carry out.
We prepare and register the minutes of the companies’ governing bodies, keep and update corporate books, and update the commercial registry, among other activities.
We structure and draft your contracts to govern your commercial relationships with clients, suppliers or strategic partners in Colombia and abroad.
We structure the rules applicable to shareholders, facilitating their relationship with one another and with the company’s management, and preventing future corporate disputes.
At CAÑÓN ASOCIADOS we structure, draft and register amendments to companies’ by-laws in compliance with Colombian commercial law, such as the appointment of legal representatives, increases in authorised capital, capital or share premium reductions with effective reimbursement of contributions, changes of corporate type and changes of corporate purpose, among others.
We advise companies on the procedures to be carried out before the Superintendence of Companies to obtain prior authorisation to formalise by-law amendments such as mergers, spin-offs and capital or share premium reductions with effective reimbursement of contributions, among others, in compliance with Basic Legal Circular 100-000005 of 2017.
We wind down your company’s operations, meeting the legal requirements for the dissolution and liquidation of companies in Colombia and other jurisdictions.
We also carry out the relevant procedures before the competent government bodies to formalise these acts in accordance with current legislation.
We transform your company through corporate reorganisation or restructuring schemes, including mergers and spin-offs, among others.
We understand how important it is to know the corporate position of your company or of the companies you intend to acquire.
