You're running a fixed-term project — trade fair, exhibition, market test. We create the dedicated legal entity, direct it for the length of the mission, then wind it down cleanly.
Running a trade fair, exhibition, or similar project in Europe often requires a local entity: signing contracts, invoicing, tax and social obligations, legal representation. Yet these projects rarely last more than one to five years.
Hiring a local director, or tying up one of your own executives in that role, is costly and creates a long-term commitment. Entrusting the directorship to a trusted third party, for the duration of the project, is often the simplest and safest route.
Creation, directorship, day-to-day administrative and financial management, and wind-down — a single point of contact from day one to project close.
Analysis of the project, timeline, and target country. Selection of the most suitable legal form.

As the appointed director, we assume legal representation of the entity for the duration of the mandate, within a governance framework agreed with you.
We handle its dissolution and administrative closing, or its transfer if you wish to keep it running.
Yes. We coordinate with your usual advisors, or can bring in our own network if needed.
