Corporate Advisory Team

Our Corporate Advisory Team specialises in providing legal advice, support and solutions to corporate businesses, ranging from start-ups to multi-national corporations. The team is accustomed to tailoring solutions in line with client needs to ensure that their businesses are positioned optimally to meet their objectives.

Our expertise extends to the following areas:

Corporate Structuring

We specialize in providing bespoke corporate structuring solutions to meet the unique needs of each business and optimize their corporate structures for efficiency, growth, and compliance. We take a holistic approach to corporate structuring, considering factors such as legal, financial and tax aspects to deliver comprehensive results.

Corporate Governance

We assist clients in establishing and maintaining corporate governance frameworks and principles that promote transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct within the context of the nature and sector of a clients’ business and which focuses on complying not only with the relevant legislative frameworks applicable to the entity and its sector, but also the King IV Report principles for good corporate governance. Our team provides guidance on board and board sub-committee structures and implementation, policy frameworks, director duties, shareholder rights and duties, and regulatory compliance, helping clients navigate complex governance issues with confidence.

Corporate Contracting

We draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial contracts tailored to meet clients' needs and objectives. Bespoke is the name of the game, and that is where the team’s vast experience in commercial contracting allows custom contracts to be prepared and negotiated, protecting our client’s interests, and ensuring that contractual relationships are structured to maximize value and minimize risk to our clients' corporate structures, governance preferences, and commercial objectives. These services include commercial and business-related agreements, MOIs, shareholder agreements, share acquisition agreements and more.

Company Secretarial Services

We provide comprehensive company secretarial support services, including the drafting and maintenance of statutory records, preparation of minutes and resolutions, filing of regulatory documents with the relevant authorities and share register maintenance. We ensure our clients remain compliant with corporate governance requirements and help them to fulfil their statutory obligations effectively. 

Corporate Packs and Training

The team also offers relevant packaged solutions to assist clients to maintain their corporate environments themselves, with package options scaled to client needs and including templates, frameworks, policy formats, educational guides, reference material, and where required, training to stakeholders.
