Legal Consultancy
Standing corporate counsel for boards, founders and in-house teams.
Overview
Most companies do not need a law firm on every call — they need someone who already knows the business and can give a straight answer quickly. We act as outside general counsel: on hand for the day-to-day questions, and there for the decisions that need a considered written view.
What this covers
- Company formation, licensing and free-zone structuring
- Shareholder, joint-venture and partnership agreements
- Corporate governance and board-level advisory
- Written legal opinions on specific questions
- Policy, terms and template review
- Support for in-house legal teams at peak load
