The current international geopolitical context, marked by regulatory uncertainty, changes in foreign investment policies and increased scrutiny of cross-border operations, makes it essential for companies with subsidiaries abroad to ensure that their structures are fully aligned with local and international regulations.
In this scenario, it is crucial to ensure that subsidiaries comply with all requirements related to foreign investment regulations, exchange control rules where applicable, as well as proper corporate governance and operations: valid powers of attorney, duly constituted management bodies, updated corporate resolutions and clear decision-making processes.
At Feliu, our Subsidiary Management team, with extensive experience in the incorporation of companies abroad and in legal, tax, accounting and labour compliance throughout the entire lifecycle of international projects, supports companies in the comprehensive analysis and review of their international subsidiaries through Subsidiary Due Diligence processes tailored to each jurisdiction.
The Due Diligence is carried out with a cross-functional approach and includes:
-
Legal and corporate review
-
Analysis of compliance with foreign investment regulations
-
Review of operational matters and corporate governance
-
Tax review
-
Labour and human resources analysis
The aim is to detect potential non-compliance, identify risks and regularise any necessary aspects, thereby providing legal, operational and strategic certainty to the corporate group. In addition, Due Diligence is a key tool enabling the parent company or majority shareholder to exercise effective control over its subsidiaries, allowing for swift and efficient action in situations requiring urgent intervention or strategic decision-making.
Thanks to FeliuWorldwide, our international network, we work with the appropriate partners in each country, enabling us to carry out Due Diligence processes with local knowledge, expert judgement and full guarantees, ensuring the correct interpretation of the applicable regulations in each jurisdiction.
This approach is particularly relevant in transactions such as sales, joint ventures, acquisitions or the orderly liquidation of a subsidiary, allowing these processes to be carried out with subsidiaries properly aligned and without unexpected contingencies.
Through this service, Feliu reaffirms its commitment to supporting companies in their international activities, providing security, foresight and confidence in an increasingly demanding global environment.
