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.
