Company Formation & Structuring

NOEM AVOCAT advises founders, executives and investors on the incorporation and structuring of their companies: choice of legal form, capital organisation, governance and management incentive tools.
Company & holding incorporation
Choosing a legal form requires more than comparing a French SAS with a SARL. The decision must reflect the nature of the project, the number of shareholders, financing requirements, the director's status and the company's expected development. NOEM AVOCAT prepares the articles of association and all documents required for incorporation, and can also structure a holding company when the organisation of the group, the future admission of investors or any other relevant circumstance calls for it.
Capital structuring & governance
Governance arrangements should reflect the intended balance between founders, investors and executives. The articles and shareholders' agreement govern, in particular, the governance structure, voting thresholds, information rights and mechanisms for controlling ownership. The objective is to preserve the ability of the company and its executives to act while protecting each stakeholder, including in the event of disagreement, a change of control or the departure of a shareholder.
Management incentive tools
BSPCE warrants, free shares, stock options and other management package arrangements can align managers with value creation. Their implementation requires corporate law, contractual terms and tax considerations to be coordinated. NOEM AVOCAT assists its clients with defining the arrangement, preparing its legal documentation and ensuring that it works consistently with the articles, shareholders' agreement and subsequent capital transactions.
Vehicle selection & group organisation
A structure designed for today must remain suitable for tomorrow's development. The choice between an operating company, holding company, dedicated subsidiary or property company depends on the activities, flows, organisation of the group and contemplated transfers or combinations. Our assistance focuses on a clear organisation, effective decision-making and readiness for future transactions, in coordination with the client's tax and accounting advisers.
