Marval Legal Pulse – Comprehensive Reform of the Companies Act

A new episode of Marval Legal Pulse is now available, where we analyze the comprehensive reform bill of the General Companies Law, an initiative that proposes modernizing Argentina’s corporate regime and providing greater flexibility for the incorporation, organization, and operation of companies.

In this edition, our partners Pablo Artagaveytia and Guillermo Burman, from the M&A Department, discuss the main changes introduced by the bill and its potential implications for companies, investors, and business development in Argentina.

During the episode, they address:

• the expansion of the corporate purpose and the possibility of carrying out any lawful activity;
• greater flexibility regarding capital, shares, and voting rights;
• the strengthening of freedom of contract as the guiding principle of the corporate regime;
• the regulation and enforceability of shareholders’ agreements;
• the expanded use of single-member companies;
• the possibility of agreeing that certain aspects of the relationship between shareholders be governed by foreign law;
• the incorporation of new technological tools and innovative corporate structures;
• measures aimed at facilitating the participation of foreign investors and companies in the country.
   

This is a key analysis to understand the scope of a reform that could significantly transform Argentina’s corporate regulatory framework and help boost business activity and investment.

We invite you to watch the full episode and learn more about this bill and its potential effects on the business ecosystem.
