The integration of markets, free movement of goods, capital and people and advances in technology have created faster, easier and cheaper ways to do business. However, the revealed opportunities are often hindered by problems inherent in highly regulated markets, changes in legislation, competitive pressure from market players and multi-sided legal relations. The key to success, applicable as a general rule in many areas of activity, frequently lies in efficiently adapting to the surrounding environment, inter alia also to the legal environment.  

Every business is as successful and sustainable as is the legal framework it has been founded on. Getting it right the first time and building a strong regulated setting for company’s economic activities is essential for any emerging start-up or expanding market player. Grant Thornton Baltic can provide valuable assistance in finding the right means – e.g. deciding on the appropriate legal structure for the enterprise, drafting foundation acts and appropriate company by-laws, establishing strong relations with suppliers and partners, writing service or sale agreements, protecting company’s intellectual property, minimizing liabilities in front of consumers and transaction parties and ensuring compliance with market regulations, taxation and accounting principles.

Furthermore, Grant Thornton Baltic contributes to the operating companies’ efforts to increase their value to the stakeholders and enhance their performance. Such objectives may be achieved through various strategies: e.g. by relying on the organic growth of the company (introducing new products, opening new outlets, expanding to new markets), establishing cooperation agreements (joint ventures, franchises, technology transfers, research projects, production agreements), initiating takeovers and mergers or by optimizing current business models and minimizing risks (transfer of assets, group restructuring). Whatever the chosen strategies are, this is what we at Grant Thornton Baltic do best. With the backing from our financial advisers and tax experts, we rationalize our client’s best options and provide professional legal advice on the full range of corporate matters.

Our expertise will not fall short also when it comes to withdrawing from the market or winding-up the business. We provide a sophisticated exit strategy that retains the value of the company in the best way possible under the circumstances.
