Commercial Transactions

Our commercial practice is highly specialized in providing solutions in relation to national and international commercial transactions. inlea/LEGAL prepares, negotiates and analyzes business contracts, regardless of the client’s sector, endeavoring to minimize the complexity of commercial transactions.

 


Joint Ventures

A joint venture is a strategic association of companies, maintaining their legal independence, acting together to carry out certain commercial operations. At inlea/LEGAL, we know that an exemplary legal preparation of the joint venture removes conflicts of interest, improves the communication between companies, generates successful strategic decisions and increases profits.

The inlea/LEGAL team has experience in international joint ventures, negotiating different legislations and cultures, and multidisciplinary entities.

 


M&A Advisory

inlea/LEGAL supports our clients’ growth through their corporate lives, enabling them to adapt and maximize their value to fulfil their true potential. Our expertise is in leading clients’ crucial processes based on strong internal and external team support and addressing all aspects of mergers and acquisitions: company by-laws; supply/provide contracts; IP rights; reviewing company books; employment law; and tax due diligence.

 


Unfair Competence

Mergers and acquisitions are subject to unfair competition laws. The application of these laws is vital before making any decision about a merger or acquisition. inlea/LEGAL analyzes the impact that the merged operation would cause in its specific market in light of the applicable legislation.

In addition there are actions and/or acts perpetrated by competitors that can be considered as contrary to market practice and, therefore, unfair. Our services in both cases are the following:

  • Defense of competition: initiation and defense of files before the Court for the Defense of Competition, as well as before the relevant administrative courts.
  • Actions for unfair competition and precautionary measures.
  • Assistance in notarial acts on the Internet for acts of unfair competition.
