What We Do

Our multi-lingual lawyers possess nationally recognised expertise in law with an emphasis on the following areas

Business Law and Corporate Law, Commercial Transactions

GALEXY firms handle complex business law questions and assist with cross-border commercial transactions. Matters dealt with include business structure, ownership and formation, finance and funding, trading terms and agreements, property management, corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, the organization of domestic and multi-national joint ventures, business administration, and insolvency. We also handle the purchase and sale of companies, company information searches, and credit control services. We assist clients with cross-border issues regarding the control and management of companies, including shareholder disputes and management issues

Taxation

GALEXY members support clients regarding cross-border taxation issues related to transactions and corporate structuring. Our international tax lawyers support our corporate, commercial, and private clients with their tax planning needs. Our members have expertise in the fields of cross-border international income, excise, and property tax matters and assist clients with issues related to double taxation treaties.  

Litigation

Our litigators are familiar with the personal and commercial problems which give rise to disputes within their own country. They can pass on this knowledge and expertise to clients of other members in other jurisdictions. This added perspective assists us in helping our clients avoid problems and in effectively dealing with them in the courts when they arise.

Banking

GALEXY clients include commercial banks, both national and international. Our expertise covers loan structuring and documentation for asset-based and other secured loans and domestic and international trade-related finance.

Industrial relations

GALEXY can assist with the installation of personnel management systems, offering advice on employment relations, industrial conflicts, job security and dismissal, trade unions/employers associations and their members, health and safety at work, and non-discrimination practices.

Insurance

We advise insurers and insureds on the scope of coverage under insurance contracts and have assisted our manufacturing clients in obtaining insurance coverage suitable for their business activities.

Property

We represent various interests, including farmers, traders, manufacturers, and property developers in residential and commercial real property buying, selling, developing, and investing worldwide.

EU law

Not only in Europe, but throughout the world, business feels the impact of EU legislation. Trade within or with the European Community must comply with Community legislation, and GALEXY members are best placed to advise you on this.

GALEXY is an international association of like-minded lawyers willing to help clients of other members to achieve their aims.
