Our Business Law team is committed to providing in depth service to maintain compliance in all aspects of corporate annual governance.

Reflecting on the efficiency and effectiveness of a corporate structure is an important component of corporate governance. Throughout a business’s life span there may be a need to alter the corporate structure to limit liability, or exposure, to bring on new investors, expand or transfer your interest to the next generation. Perhaps you are looking to facilitate a continuance to a different jurisdiction, amalgamate or maybe you need to dissolve the corporation. At Mann Lawyers, our team is well equipped, through our extensive experience, to advise and assist in all aspects of corporation’s life cycle; from creation to dissolution and everything in between.
Even with the best planning a disagreement or dispute may arise. Knowing your rights, obligations and the legal framework within which you are working is integral to making informed decisions. Knowing this, the Business Law team at Mann lawyers uses our extensive experience and knowledge to address our clients’ needs and priorities as they evolve in the context of business. Our team advises parties including partners, shareholders, directors and boards.
