Company & Corporate Matters

Formation, governance, shareholder issues, restructuring and continuous corporate advisory.

What it is

A company needs legal attention at every stage — when it is formed, while it is run, when it grows, and when it comes under strain. We act as a standing legal and business advisory team across the full range of corporate matters, from the memorandum of association to a crisis in the boardroom.

What this covers

Company Formation, Structuring & Registration

The appropriate corporate structure, incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, shareholding arrangements, capital structure and RJSC compliance.

Corporate Governance & Management

Proper board procedures, shareholders' rights, directors' responsibilities, AGM and EGM matters, corporate resolutions and statutory compliance.

Shareholder & Director Disputes

Strategic advice on shareholder conflicts, management deadlock, transfer of shares, oppression, mismanagement and disputes over control of the company.

Commercial Contracts & Agreements

Drafting, reviewing and negotiating supply, distribution, agency, franchise, service, partnership, construction and investment agreements.

Banking, Finance & Credit Matters

Loans, mortgages, guarantees, letters of credit, banking facilities, loan restructuring, recovery proceedings and disputes with financial institutions.

Foreign Investment & Joint Ventures

Investment structures, joint ventures, shareholder agreements, regulatory approvals, foreign-exchange issues and repatriation of investment and profits.
