Core practice area
Business Law
Practical legal support for businesses at every stage, from setting up to growing, restructuring and handing on.
Most businesses in the Maldives are owner-managed, and their legal needs change as they grow. We advise founders, family businesses and established companies on how to structure the business, how the owners deal with each other, and how to stay on the right side of the regulators.
We aim to be the firm you call before a decision is made, not only after something has gone wrong. That means clear documents, sensible governance and advice that fits the size and budget of the business.
How we help
-
Company formation and structure
Choosing between a company, partnership or sole proprietorship, and setting it up with the right constitution from the start.
-
Shareholder and partnership agreements
Agreements that set out who owns what, how decisions are made, how profits are shared and what happens when an owner leaves.
-
Restructuring and changes of ownership
Bringing in investors, transferring shares, reorganising group companies and winding up businesses that have run their course.
-
Regulatory compliance
Licences, permits and the filings a business must keep up with, so that compliance does not become a problem later.
-
Ongoing counsel
A standing relationship for day-to-day questions: contracts, staff, disputes with suppliers and the decisions that come up every week.
-
Governance
Board procedures, directors’ duties, minutes and resolutions that will stand up if they are ever examined.
