Corporate & Commercial Law

Company Registration

In light of all the increased entrepreneurial activity and the growing Zimbabwean economy, it is essential to have your business properly structured. As a legal entity with years of experience, we offer essential services to make your business not just legally registered, but also properly set up  and running to fulfil the compliance aspects of the Zimbabwe industry-specific requirements.

Sale and Purchase of Shares, Joint Ventures and Partnerships

We steer the sale or transfer of shares, joint venture and partnership agreements with legal advice, expertise and strategic insight. Our full commitment is on offering legal advice to corporates, investors, and shareholders on transaction structuring to enhance value and limit potential risks that may arise in transactions. Depending on whether the transaction is for minority stakes or a full takeover, we prepare and review share sale agreements, conduct due diligence, and handle regulatory filings, ensuring transparency, enforceability, and protection of shareholders’ and stakeholders rights.

Compliance

Corporate compliance is now not an option, but a strategic imperative. We assist companies in meeting statutory and regulatory obligations under Zimbabwe company law, including annual returns, corporate governance obligations, and industry-specific obligations. Our service allows clients to anticipate compliance risks, be in good standing with the regulatory authorities, and avoid costly penalties or business disruption.

Guiding Businesses in Legal Matters

Companies are functioning in a growing legal landscape where the obtaining of early legal advice can make all the difference between success and failure. Within our operating landscape, we provide ongoing advisory support on all manner of issues, from contract negotiation, intellectual property protection, employment law, and risk management. We endeavour to provide guidance that is legally precise and commercially astute, making sure business decisions are lawfully based and aligned with your key strategic goals.

Financing

Raising funds, whether through debt, equity, or hybrid structures, demands market insight as much as legal expertise. Within our legal services, we help in every aspect of business financing, including loan structuring and security arrangements, investment agreements, and regulatory approvals. Our expertise ensures that financing structures are not merely legally valid but also aligned with the long-term health and growth of our clients. Additionally, mergers and acquisitions are some of the most intricate corporate ventures, frequently defining the future of whole organisations. We offer start-to-finish legal assistance for mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and business combinations. From regulatory approvals and due diligence to term negotiations and post-merger integration, we remain committed to ensure that each transaction is carried out efficiently, openly, and in compliance with Zimbabwean legislation.
