Corporate and Commercial Law

Corporate and commercial law are the cornerstone of every major law firm and this is no exception at LEX. Drawing from decades of experience and knowledge, LEX routinely advises on issues ranging from the choice of corporate form, the establishment of the corporation itself, the drafting of articles of association and cross border considerations. Our corporate and commercial practice group frequently works in collaboration with other practice areas, such as Tax, Banking and Finance and Merger & Acquisition. The close cooperation between different practice areas at LEX ensures that client’s cases are dealt with in the most efficient manner, from both time and monetary perspectives.
