Corporate & Commercial

The corporate practice areas of Vivien Teu & Co cover advising and assisting clients with establishing companies or other business entities, in particular with selecting the appropriate corporate forms in appropriate jurisdictions for undertaking business activities and pursuing business opportunities in our part of the world, as well as with putting in place key agreements and contracts that are important to get right from the start to govern the critical relationships of founder and partners, with shareholders and investors, with employees, consultants and contractors, strategic alliances, distributors, suppliers or other legal issues or needs that our clients may encounter in core or non-core but necessary functions or parts of running businesses.

Our lawyers are well-experienced and knowledgeable in corporate and commercial laws to help clients protect and further their interests in addressing legal and regulatory needs and challenges in their businesses. Our aim is to do so with great understanding of the practicalities and challenges facing our clients so that our advice would be well suited and aligned with our clients’ business objectives.  At Vivien Teu & Co, we believe in building and helping build partnerships.  We have assisted new and well-established corporations in corporate structuring or restructuring, joint ventures and shareholders agreements, mergers and acquisitions.
