OUR SERVICES
Corporate Legal
Corporate legal services play a crucial role in supporting businesses in various aspects of their operations. We have the necessary expertise to navigate complex legal landscapes, manage risks, protect your rights and assets, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations so your business thrives.
ENTITY FORMATION
Choosing the appropriate legal structure is a critical decision when forming a new entity and businesses often do not contemplate aspects of liability, governance, flexibility, fundraising, and future growth before defining their entity. We guide new businesses through the process of entity formation, including the selection of the most appropriate entity type, considering factors like liability protection, tax implications, ownership, investments, management structure, and future prospects.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Businesses require strong corporate governance practices to ensure accountability, investor confidence, stakeholder management and to manage risk. We assist in drafting bylaws, articles of incorporation, memorandum of association, shareholder agreements, and other corporate documents to ensure corporate governance requirements are being met. Our scope of work also includes guidance on board governance, director duties and responsibilities, risk management, disclosure and reporting, corporate policies, code of conduct, corporate transactions, and compliance with corporate governance best practices.
