We offer a full range of corporate services that cover the lifespan of a company.
Establishing a company is one of the core areas of corporate advisory. Once a company is born, it won't live a static life, instead undergoing numerous developments as it evolves. Corporate transformations typically include making changes in the company's share capital, amending the articles of association, or making changes to corporate bodies.
We also assist clients who wish to bring their business activities to a close. We stand out in adding value in complex cases, as we have unique expertise in the market to assist with complex governance issues.
We assist our clients in organising day-to-day matters and daily corporate maintenance. In addition, we work closely with our clients during corporate restructuring to reach the best result. We are experienced in working with cross-border mergers and restructuring, as well as the transfer of corporate seats from one country to another.
Our areas of specialisation include:
- Corporate Governance and Shareholder Relations
- Foreign Direct Investment Projects
- Joint Ventures, Corporate Structures & Reorganisation
