Practice area
Company formation, governance, transactions and compliance for businesses that intend to grow.
A business is only as secure as the structure beneath it. We set companies up correctly, keep them compliant and stand beside management when transactions, financing or disputes call for decisive legal input. Our work is commercial in outlook: we look for the route that protects your position and moves the deal forward.
Incorporation of private business corporations and companies under the Companies and Other Business Entities Act, shareholder agreements, constitutions and the practical setup that lets a new entity trade with confidence.
Sale and transfer of shares, minority investments and full acquisitions, joint venture and partnership agreements, supported by due diligence and the regulatory filings each transaction requires.
Annual returns, registers, board processes and sector specific obligations, helping the company stay in good standing and reduce the risk of penalties or disruption.
Drafting, review and negotiation of supply, service, distribution, employment and agency agreements, together with ongoing advice on intellectual property, risk and day to day commercial questions.
Loan structuring, security arrangements, investment agreements and the approvals that funding transactions need, aligned with the long term health of the business.
Legal support from due diligence and term negotiation through to regulatory approvals, including merger notifications where the Competition Act applies, and integration after completion.
