Contracts are the foundation of every business relationship, and often the first thing to give way under pressure.
Mairhofer Advokatur advises companies, municipalities and public bodies on everything that needs to be set down in law: from articles of association and cooperation agreements to property transfers and ownership rights.
We do not simply read the text you present to us. We think ahead, ask the uncomfortable questions and identify where a contract looks solid at first glance but reveals gaps on closer inspection.
Those who structure their agreements correctly from the outset spare themselves what no client wants: a conflict that could have been avoided.

Frequently asked questions
Which company forms exist in Liechtenstein?
The most common are the company limited by shares (AG), the limited liability company (GmbH) and the establishment (Anstalt), a Liechtenstein speciality that can be used very flexibly. They are governed by the Persons and Companies Act (PGR). Which form fits depends on liability, capital, the number of people involved and the purpose.
What belongs in a shareholder agreement?
Typically rules on voting rights, pre-emption and tag-along rights, board appointments, the use of profits and what happens in a dispute or when a shareholder exits. It complements the articles where these are deliberately left open or are publicly accessible.
Is it worth having a contract reviewed before signing?
Almost always. A review before signing costs a fraction of a dispute over an unclear clause. We show you where the risks lie, what is negotiable and which wording protects your position.
