Business and corporate law
Strategic Counsel for a Competitive Market.
If you are doing business without legal advice from experienced business lawyers, you are likely making inaccurate assumptions about your risks. In today's complex economic environment, you need a clear understanding of your opportunities and obstacles.
Maaron Law Firm handles virtually all legal issues that business owners and corporations confront in the OHADA region. Whether you are just starting a business, restructuring, planning a transition, or asserting your rights in court, we guide you to accurately balance risks and rewards.
Combined with our membership in Legalink and the International Fraud Group (IFG), we provide local businesses and international investors with a level of strategic counsel usually reserved for global conglomerates.
Corporate Advisory & Transactional Services
We take pride in being a full-service firm that speaks the language of business.
- Business Formation & Structuring (OHADA) : The business entity form you choose matters enormously. It impacts your liability and your tax burden. We guide you through the OHADA Uniform Acts to identify the correct vehicle for your venture (SARL, SA, SAS, etc.) and assist with seamless incorporation.
- Buy-Sell Agreements & Transitions : Any time an owner exits a firm, there is a risk of chaos. We craft robust buy-sell agreements that protect your company in the event an owner retires, dies, or leaves.
- Corporate Governance : Business owners and managers need on-the-spot legal advice to handle a variety of confusing compliance issues. We are only a phone call away to help with any governance challenge.
- Tax Strategy : Tax authorities are aggressive. Hire Maaron Law Firm for ethical, accurate tax strategy that protects your company while also minimizing the tax bill, ensuring full compliance with local finance laws.
- Employment Compliance : Employers must navigate complex labor laws. We protect your company from allegations of discrimination or harassment and draft watertight employment agreements, non-compete clauses, and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
- Trade Secret Protection : Customer lists, copyrights, and proprietary information are valuable assets. We help you protect this information with appropriate legal frameworks.
- Contract Drafting & Negotiation : No business should rely on 'fill-in-the-blank' templates found online. We draft contracts specifically designed for your industry. Thanks to Legalink, we can also negotiate and secure your cross-border commercial agreements in over 60 countries.
Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Maaron Law Firm attorneys are tenacious and experienced court advocates. We regularly handle a variety of business and commercial litigation matters, including:
- Shareholder Disputes : We represent you or your company in disputes involving breach of fiduciary duties, breach of shareholder agreements, conflicts of interest, and distribution of dividends.
- Business Restructuring & Insolvency (OHADA) : If your company faces distress, we guide you through OHADA collective proceedings. We help you restructure debt and remain in possession of your company whenever possible, or ensure a smooth dissolution if necessary.
- Contract Litigation : Broken contracts are a fact of life. We craft a litigation strategy and discuss possible remedies, such as specific performance or damages. We also advise on whether negotiation, mediation, or arbitration are the best methods for resolving the dispute.
- Unfair Competition & Fraud Litigation (IFG) : As a member of the International Fraud Group, we are uniquely equipped to handle claims regarding fraudulent business practices, passing off, or theft of corporate assets. If a competitor or partner deceives you, we have the global tools to investigate and litigate.
