You are building a company in Albania — or running one — and you need the ownership, governance, and contracts beneath it to be as sound as the business itself. We put that foundation in place: incorporation done right, agreements that hold, and structures that will not need rebuilding the first time they are tested.
Most problems that reach a courtroom were created years earlier, in a document nobody read closely. We draft the founding papers and the everyday contracts with equal care, so that ownership is clear, authority is defined, and obligations are enforceable when it matters.
What we advise on.
Company formation & registration
We select the corporate vehicle that fits your goals — most often the limited liability company (SH.P.K.) — and register it with the National Business Center (QKB), with the statute, capital, and governance set up correctly. Getting the foundation right avoids expensive restructuring once the business is running.
Shareholder & quotaholder agreements
We put in writing how control is shared, how decisions are taken, how interests may be transferred, and what happens on deadlock or departure. The agreement is negotiated while relations are good, so it works when they are not.
Corporate governance
We design board and management structures, decision rights, and reporting lines that meet statutory duties and scale as you grow. Clear governance protects directors and reassures investors and lenders.
Commercial contracts
We draft and negotiate the supply, distribution, agency, services, and general terms your business runs on. Each is written for clarity today and for the dispute you would rather never have.
Capital & ownership changes
We execute capital increases, share transfers, and reorganizations cleanly, with the corporate approvals and register filings done correctly. Ownership changes are put beyond doubt and onto the public record.
Joint ventures & alliances
We structure and document partnerships and joint ventures, defining contributions, control, profit sharing, and exit. Each side leaves the table knowing exactly where it stands.
How we work with you.
We begin with the commercial objective, then advise across both of our disciplines at once — because a corporate step usually has tax and filing consequences that are easier to manage before it is taken than after. You receive a clear recommendation in plain language, not a menu of options.
Senior lawyers lead the matter and coordinate the specialists it needs, so the work is done by the right people and you are never left coordinating advisors yourself. Documents are drafted to be used, not filed — precise, readable, and built to hold up.
You are incorporating a company or establishing an Albanian presence for the first time.
You are admitting an investor, adjusting ownership, or writing the rules between shareholders.
You are entering contracts that matter and need them to hold up if the relationship sours.
Companies are governed principally by Law No. 9901/2008 "On Entrepreneurs and Commercial Companies", as amended, and registered through the National Business Center (QKB), which operates a one-stop shop for commercial and tax registration. We advise across the full range of vehicles, from the limited liability company (SH.P.K.) to the joint-stock company (SH.A.), and on the approvals and filings that each corporate step requires.
