Our Mission:
Welcome to Takjas, a business law firm with a dedicated focus on assisting founders, start-ups and scale-ups, investors and executives. We give the highest priority to our clients' peace of mind by being responsive, empathetic and business-savvy problem solvers and project managers.
We have experience in the fields of venture capital, insolvency, mergers and acquisitions, financing, corporate law and corporate governance. We handle complex and demanding transactions, often involving cross-border aspects. We routinely handle corporate reorganizations and counsel senior management in critical situations. We seek to gain and to maintain the trust of our clients by being ultra-responsive, highly empathetic experts striving for excellence at every step of every project.
We strive for responsive and consistent communication, aiming for a one-hour response time and taking every opportunity to provide a same-day response. We understand the importance of staying connected with our clients throughout their legal journey, and our commitment is reflected in keeping our clients informed at every step of the process.
We prioritize transparency as a fundamental principle of our approach. Our commitment extends to providing clarity on who within our team is responsible for each aspect. From discussing strategy to outlining potential costs, our goal is to foster trust through transparency, enabling our clients to make informed decisions with confidence.
We take a strategic approach that is aligned with our clients' overall goals. Our advice is driven by business needs, we emphasize feasible solutions and assist in reasonable business risk taking. Where needed, we provide an in-depth legal analysis of any complexities in the background, but we do not specialize in crafting lengthy legal memoranda.
We value the human element. We place a strong emphasis on delivering more than just legal expertise - we provide personal support. With empathy, understanding and expertise, our approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
