A corporate transaction or reorganisation is never an end in itself.
We look at the more profound finality and the nature of wealth transfer. Where assets migrate, taxation comes into play.
Corporate housekeeping
The importance of proper corporate housekeeping
Corporate housekeeping (also referred to as corporate legal maintenance) means the continuous and proper management of all legal and administrative obligations of a company. It concerns keeping the company “in good order,” ensuring it remains compliant with the law, transparent, and well-governed.

In practice? Illustrative cases:
CASE
Tuerlinckx Tax Lawyers acts as external legal counsel to a listed, international group specialized in waste processing (Waste-To-Energy Solution Provider), providing corporate housekeeping services.
As the daily point of contact for the European structure of this international group, Team CORPORATE handles the preparation of minutes for shareholder and board meetings of the group, manages the contractual setup of investments currently exceeding €300 million, and supports the restructuring of the European structure. This restructuring unfolded over a period of four years and involved various share acquisitions, the incorporation of new (holding) companies, and capital increases.
Today, the group benefits from a logical and solid shareholder structure, enabling it to achieve its strategic objectives as efficiently as possible.
