Corporate Formation
I assist entrepreneurs and investors in establishing companies and structuring their businesses in Poland and Switzerland. From choosing the right legal form, through registration and drafting founding documents, to shareholder agreements and corporate governance, I make sure your business starts on a solid and secure legal foundation.
The Right Structure from Day One
Early structural decisions have long-term consequences for liability, taxation, and control. I help you understand the trade-offs between available entity types and jurisdictions so that your structure supports your business plan instead of constraining it.

How I Can Help
A well-planned formation prevents costly disputes and restructurings later. I handle the legal side end to end so you can focus on building the business.
Typical Matters I Handle
- Entity selection and company registration in Poland and Switzerland
- Articles of association, shareholder and partnership agreements
- Corporate governance, ongoing compliance, and restructuring
- International formation projects — including establishing a limited liability partnership (LLP) in Thailand
Can you help with company formation outside Europe?
Selectively, yes. I have completed cross-border formation projects beyond the EU — including establishing a limited liability partnership (LLP) in Thailand — coordinating the process end to end and working with local advisors where local law requires it. If your target jurisdiction is elsewhere, ask: I will tell you honestly whether I can add value or should refer you.
Which legal form should I choose for my company?
It depends on your liability tolerance, capital, number of founders, and tax situation. In Poland the sp. z o.o. is the most common choice for limited liability; in Switzerland the GmbH and AG serve similar roles. I will walk you through the options for your specific plans.
Can a foreigner set up a company in Poland or Switzerland?
In most cases yes, though requirements differ. Poland is generally open to foreign founders, particularly from the EU. Switzerland requires at least one authorized signatory resident in Switzerland for most entities. I help clients meet these requirements correctly.
Do I really need a shareholder agreement if we are friends or family?
Yes, especially then. A shareholder agreement settles in advance how decisions are made, how shares can be sold, and what happens if someone wants to leave. It protects both the business and the relationships behind it.
How long does company registration take?
With complete documents, a Polish sp. z o.o. can often be registered within days using the electronic system, or a few weeks via the traditional route. Swiss registrations typically take two to four weeks. I prepare everything to avoid rejections and delays.
