Corporate and Commercial Law

The intricate relationships between the shareholders, the board and the company provide fertile ground for the materialisation of significant personal and corporate risk. Our assistance in this field of the law is aimed at managing that risk with corporate governance best practice, company secretarial services, bespoke shareholder agreements and memoranda of incorporation. Those measures are enforced by internal remedies and ultimately litigation.
