We provide a full corporate advisory service to small, medium and large sized companies.
We draft and give strategic commercial advice on documentation necessary to implement investment, venture capital or borrowing transactions. We also advise on business sales and purchases, re-organisations and joint ventures.
We regularly assist our clients with Companies Act compliance and corporate governance issues, providing sound advice to boards and senior management to ensure companies act and make decisions in accordance with their articles of association and the relevant statutory framework.
We also advise individual directors on their statutory and fiduciary obligations. We recognise that individual directors have different roles in different types of companies and we are quick to assess the role of the director and advise on how they should fulfil their personal responsibilities to the company.
For minority shareholders experiencing difficulties in effectively participating in the decision making of a company, or who are being treated unfairly, we provide expertise in statutory and common law mechanisms which provide protection to the minority shareholder. We can clearly explain how the majority can be brought to the negotiating table or the court can intervene to regulate the company's future affairs.
For companies in financial difficulty, we can advise on the options available for trading through that difficulty or winding down the affairs of the company. We also have a substantial insolvency practice.
