Strategic legal advice for international business

International business offers many opportunities, but it requires well-considered legal decisions. Cross-border activities often involve complex issues, where legal, tax and commercial interests come together. 

At aaff International, we support companies, shareholders and investors in strategic international matters as well as in their core corporate and contractual issues. We combine in-depth legal expertise with commercial insight and international experience. This ensures that decisions are not only legally sound, but also contribute strategically to growth and continuity.

Our approach is pragmatic and entrepreneurial. No unnecessary complexity, just clear legal advice that is understandable, workable and directly aligned with the day-to-day reality of international business.

Our legal practice includes, among others

• (Cross-border) mergers and acquisitions
• Corporate restructurings
• Cooperation arrangements and shareholder structures
• Advice on corporate and contract law, including drafting and reviewing commercial and shareholders’ agreements 

Cross-border M&A and strategic transactions

M&A transactions require control, oversight and experience. We guide clients throughout the entire process, from initial structuring and negotiations to closing and post-transaction advice.

Our work includes, among other things, acquisitions and disposals of companies and shareholdings, international mergers and acquisitions, investments and joint ventures. We are accustomed to operating in a multidisciplinary and international setting and ensure effective coordination across the relevant jurisdictions through foreign law firms within our international network. 

Corporate law and (international) structuring

A solid legal structure forms the basis for sustainable growth. We advise on the incorporation of companies and on the design and optimisation of national and international holding and group structures. In doing so, we look beyond the legal form and also consider governance, control, financing and tax aspects. Our advice is focused on practical feasibility and long-term sustainability. 

(Commercial) contracts, collaborations and shareholder structures

Clear contractual arrangements are essential, particularly in an international context. We advise and assist in drafting, reviewing and negotiating corporate and commercial agreements. We consistently focus on topics such as governance, control, profit distribution, non-competition, exit mechanisms and dispute resolution. 

Pragmatic and internationally focused

aaff International combines international reach with strong local expertise. Through our international network, we handle cross-border projects in an integrated and efficient manner, with a single point of contact.

We advise internationally operating businesses, from SMEs to international groups, on market entry, international growth and restructurings.
