Frequently asked questions
When does a company need a lawyer's help?
A lawyer's help may be needed, for example, when drafting contracts, in employee-related matters, in debt recovery or in disputes with business partners. Legal advice helps prevent potential risks and find solutions before problems become more complicated or costly.
Can Purgato help draft business-related contracts?
Yes! We help draft and review various business-related contracts, including employment contracts, management board member contracts, loan agreements, lease agreements and other commercial contracts. Where necessary, we involve a partner lawyer so that the contracts take into account the specific situation and potential risks.
Is it worth having a lawyer review a contract before signing it?
Yes, especially in the case of larger financial obligations or long-term cooperation agreements. A lawyer helps spot unclear terms, potential risks and obligations that may not be apparent at first glance. Reviewing a contract before signing can help avoid later disputes and additional costs.
Can a company lend money to another company or a private individual?
Yes, but when granting a loan, the purpose and terms of the transaction as well as potential tax and legal risks must be taken into account. It is important to draw up a proper loan agreement that clearly sets out the loan amount, interest, repayment terms and other essential arrangements. Purgato helps assess the accounting and tax aspects of the transaction and involves a lawyer where necessary.
What should I do if a business partner breaches a contract or fails to pay an invoice?
First, the concluded contract should be reviewed and the documents proving the claim gathered. The options for resolving the problem can then be assessed, for example by submitting a formal claim, through negotiations or through court proceedings. Purgato helps assess the situation and, where necessary, involves a lawyer to plan the next steps.
Does Purgato offer legal advice even if I am not an accounting service client?
Yes! You can also approach us separately with questions concerning legal advice and contracts. Describe your situation to us and we will see what help you need and how we can assist you.
What is the difference between advice from an accountant and from a lawyer?
An accountant primarily helps with the company's accounting, tax and financial matters, whereas a lawyer deals with matters concerning rights, obligations, contract terms and disputes. These topics are often interlinked. Purgato's advantage is the ability to look at more complex situations as a whole, involving both an accountant and a lawyer where necessary.
