Legal Support for Holding Company Formation in Edible Oils Production and Export

We advised a client involved in the production and export of refined edible oils, as well as their maritime transportation, on business structuring and corporate law during the formation of a holding company. Our legal guidance covered the optimal corporate structure to facilitate the client's international operations, ensuring compliance with both local and international regulations. Similar to our work in the IT sector legal reorganization, this project required alignment with evolving cross-border corporate frameworks.

Additionally, we provided comprehensive legal consultations on contract law, assisting the client in drafting and reviewing agreements. Our contract law advisory approach ensured clarity and enforceability across all key commercial agreements. We also clarified the complex nuances of sanctions legislation, ensuring that all transactions were structured in accordance with relevant sanctions regulations, thereby mitigating any potential legal risks. Our experience in grain acquisition legal help was particularly relevant, given the regulatory overlap and geopolitical factors affecting transport and export logistics. Broader financial supervision insights from the FINMA 2022 report also informed our compliance approach. We also prepared the client for upcoming regulatory changes, such as the VAT increase in Switzerland in 2024, relevant for goods moving through Swiss corporate entities.
