Corporate & Commercial Law

Formation

Starting and running a business requires the owner’s full attention, and the day-to-day operations can be time consuming. However, there are several legal and regulatory requirements that business owners must also attend to.

A clear understanding of these requirements goes along away in helping the business avoid potential legal and compliance pitfalls.

We help our clients incorporate or register businesses and other legal entities. Once the business or entity is set up, we then provide ongoing legal support.

‘Prevention is better than cure’, goes the saying.

By carrying out regular legal audits, we help our clients to identify gaps and put in place mitigating measures.

We also train the staff, draft or review legal documents to help address the identified gaps.

Other preventative law measures include:

• Updating and aligning the clients’ standard documents to new legislations and ongoing compliance requirements
• Filing and maintaining Statutory records – Annual Returns, Change of directors, alteration
• Amending Articles of Association or Constitution to address the growing needs of a client or legal demands.
• Facilitating Shareholders, Board, and Committee meetings; preparing minutes and resolutions

Contracts/commercial transactions

We negotiate, create, revise, and review contracts, agreements, and other business-related documents such as:

• Non-disclosure agreements,
• Joint ventures
• Partnership agreements,
• Consultancy agreements,
• Software licensing and distribution agreements,
• Sale of goods and services agreements.

We facilitate sale and purchase of businesses. This involves, giving advice to our client’s on the rights and obligations of the parties involved and other terms of the transaction. We conduct due diligence, seek necessary approvals, prepare, execute and where necessary register the transaction documents.
