Strategic Legal Advisory for Businesses, Investors & Corporations
Navigating the Complex World of Corporate, M&A, and Competition Law
Corporate law governs business formation, governance, restructuring, compliance, and commercial transactions, forming the foundation of every company's legal framework. As businesses grow, they engage in mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructurings, requiring meticulous legal structuring to ensure compliance, risk mitigation, and successful deal execution. Additionally, businesses operating in competitive markets must comply with UK and international competition laws to prevent anti-competitive practices, avoid regulatory penalties, and maintain fair market operations.

🔹 Corporate Law Services Provided by an RFL
As a Registered Foreign Lawyer (RFL), I provide legal support in corporate transactions, business structuring, contract drafting, and regulatory compliance. While certain matters such as corporate litigation and regulatory filings require a UK-regulated solicitor, I assist clients in corporate governance, M&A deal structuring, and competition law compliance.
1️⃣ Business Formation, Structuring & Governance
Starting and structuring a business requires a strong legal foundation to ensure compliance, operational efficiency, and investor protection.
✔ Advising on company formation, entity selection (Ltd, LLP, PLC), and UK Companies Act 2006 compliance.
✔ Drafting articles of association, shareholder agreements, and partnership agreements.
✔ Structuring corporate governance policies, director duties, and fiduciary responsibilities.

A well-structured contract is essential for protecting business interests and minimizing legal risks.

Operating in a competitive market requires compliance with UK competition laws to prevent anti-competitive practices and regulatory investigations.
