Drafting shareholder, partnership, franchise, and joint venture agreements
Our firm specializes in crafting meticulously tailored agreements that protect our clients' interests while fostering successful business relationships. We draft comprehensive shareholder agreements that clearly define rights, obligations, and dispute resolution mechanisms, including provisions for share transfers, valuation methodologies, drag-along/tag-along rights, and deadlock resolution. Our partnership agreements establish precise terms for profit-sharing, decision-making, admission/exit of partners, and non-compete clauses, ensuring smooth operations while preventing future conflicts.
For franchise arrangements, we develop legally sound agreements that balance brand protection with franchisee rights, covering territory exclusivity, fee structures, quality control standards, intellectual property usage, and termination conditions. Our joint venture agreements are strategically designed to align partners' objectives, addressing capital contributions, governance structures, performance milestones, confidentiality, and exit strategies. We incorporate industry-specific considerations and regulatory compliance requirements to create robust frameworks that withstand legal scrutiny.
Beyond initial drafting, we provide strategic negotiation support and conduct thorough agreement reviews to identify potential risks. Our agreements are customized to reflect each client's unique business model, risk tolerance, and long-term goals. We also assist in implementing these agreements through complementary documents like non-disclosure agreements, escrow arrangements, and ancillary contracts. By combining legal precision with commercial pragmatism, we create agreements that not only prevent disputes but also facilitate successful, long-term business collaborations.
Legal compliance and regulatory support
Corporate due diligence
Our firm provides meticulous corporate due diligence services to help clients make informed business decisions, mitigate risks, and ensure transactional integrity. We conduct comprehensive legal, financial, and operational audits for M&A, joint ventures, private equity investments, and corporate restructuring, assessing target companies’ compliance, contractual obligations, litigation risks, and regulatory exposures. Our due diligence process covers corporate governance, intellectual property, employment agreements, tax liabilities, pending litigation, and regulatory filings, delivering actionable insights to support negotiation strategies and deal structuring.
We tailor our due diligence approach based on transaction type—whether share purchase, asset acquisition, or merger—providing detailed risk assessments and red-flag reports. Our team scrutinizes shareholder agreements, financial statements, material contracts, and compliance records to uncover hidden liabilities or contingent risks. For cross-border transactions, we evaluate foreign investment laws, anti-bribery regulations, and international sanctions compliance, ensuring seamless global deal execution.
Beyond transactional support, we assist clients in post-merger integration, ensuring regulatory adherence and smooth transition of legal obligations. Our due diligence reports highlight deal-breakers, valuation impacts, and indemnification clauses, empowering clients to negotiate favorable terms. By combining legal acumen with commercial insight, we transform due diligence from a checkbox exercise into a strategic tool for risk management and value creation.
