SIU transforms from a cooperative into a company limited by shares

SIU – Schweizerisches Institut für Unternehmerschulung Genossenschaft (a cooperative association) was transformed into SIU – Schweizerisches Institut für Unternehmerschulung (a company limited by shares).

Following the transformation, all shareholders of SIU – Schweizerisches Institut für Unternehmerschulung sold their shares for an undisclosed purchase price.

SIU has been offering training and further education in the areas of trade, retail, electrical engineering and pharmacies for over 50 years. The sale brings together two strong partners in the field of adult education and improves the offerings of both partners by creating synergies.

GHR Rechtsanwälte acted as counsel to SIU in both its transformation into a company limited by shares as well as the subsequent sale of all shares. The GHR team was led by partner Bruno Hunziker (tax, pictured) and included partner Gerhard Roth (tax) and senior associate Stephan A. Hofer.
