General Corporate Advisory
The legal infrastructure beneath a business is only valuable if it is built correctly. We advise operating entities on the governance, compliance, and commercial documentation that a well-run enterprise demands.
The Foundation Everything Else Rests On
Most legal failures are born in the foundations laid long before one. Poorly drafted constitutional documents, governance frameworks that do not reflect how a business actually operates, commercial agreements that leave exposure unaddressed - these are the vulnerabilities that surface at the worst possible moment. MS Legal advises operating businesses on the legal infrastructure that underpins sound enterprise, ensuring that what sits beneath a business is as carefully considered as what drives it.
The Work We Are Built For
Company Incorporation & Structuring
Legal advisory on the establishment of business entities - from jurisdiction selection and constitutional documentation through to post-incorporation governance and compliance setup.
Corporate Governance & Board Advisory
Governance frameworks that reflect how a business is actually run and that protect the interests of shareholders, directors, and the enterprise itself.
Regulatory Compliance & Secretarial
Ongoing compliance support for operating entities ensuring that regulatory obligations are met, filings are current, and the business remains in good standing across all applicable jurisdictions.
Commercial Documentation
The contracts and agreements that govern day-to-day commercial relationships are drafted with the precision that protects a business and the clarity that enables it to operate without legal friction.
How We Approach Corporate Advisory
Corporate advisory is only valuable when it is grounded in an accurate picture of the enterprise it serves. We follow a rigorous 4-step framework.
Understand
We begin by understanding the business - its structure, its objectives, its regulatory environment, and the specific legal requirements it faces. Corporate advisory is only valuable when it is grounded in an accurate picture of the enterprise it serves.
Assess
We assess the existing legal infrastructure against what the business requires by identifying gaps, inconsistencies, and vulnerabilities that represent exposure. Our assessment is direct: we tell clients what is working, what is not, and what must change.
Build
We construct or rebuild the legal foundations the business needs - from constitutional documents and governance frameworks through to commercial agreements and compliance programmes. Every instrument we produce is precise, fit for purpose, and built to last.
Support
Corporate advisory is not a one-time exercise. We remain available as the business evolves advising on new commercial arrangements, regulatory changes, governance questions, and the legal dimensions of strategic decisions as they arise.
What We Bring to Corporate Advisory
Continuity of Counsel
Businesses we advise on a standing basis get counsel that knows their structure and history and can advise with context.
Proactive, Not Reactive
The most valuable advice prevents the problem. We work to surface exposure before it becomes a dispute.
Integrated Perspective
Our corporate advisory draws on the full depth of MS Legal's disciplines - M&A, governance, succession, compliance advised across the picture.
Precision at Every Level
Quality doesn't scale with the size of the instruction. A two-person shareholder agreement gets the same rigor as a listed entity's governance framework.
