Company Formation and Registration
We assist clients with establishing and registering companies in Palestine and with the legal documentation required for their proposed business activities. This includes advising on the appropriate legal structure, ownership arrangements, management and corporate documentation.
For international clients and investors, we also advise on the Palestinian legal requirements relevant to establishing or participating in a local business.
Commercial Contracts
Contracts are central to commercial relationships. We draft, review and negotiate agreements with attention to the client’s commercial objectives, allocation of risk and the applicable Palestinian legal framework.
Our work may include supply and service agreements, distribution and agency arrangements, shareholders’ agreements, partnership arrangements, memoranda of understanding, confidentiality agreements, employment-related agreements and other commercial contracts.
Corporate Governance and Internal Documentation
We assist companies with the legal framework governing relationships between shareholders, directors, management and the company itself. This includes preparing and reviewing corporate resolutions, governance documents, internal policies and other documentation required for corporate decision-making and operations.
We also advise businesses when changes occur in ownership, management, corporate structure or internal arrangements.
Legal Due Diligence
We conduct legal due diligence in connection with proposed investments, acquisitions, partnerships and other commercial transactions. The scope of a review depends on the transaction and may include corporate records, authority and ownership, contracts, regulatory matters, employment issues, property rights and potential legal liabilities.
Our objective is to identify material legal issues and provide clients with a clearer understanding of the legal position before significant commercial commitments are made.
Commercial and Regulatory Advice
Businesses operating in Palestine may encounter legal and regulatory questions throughout their operations. We advise clients on applicable Palestinian legislation, licensing and regulatory requirements, contractual relationships, corporate obligations and other legal matters affecting their business activities.
Ongoing Legal Counsel for Businesses
Not every business requires a full-time internal legal department. We provide ongoing legal support to companies and institutions that require external counsel for their regular corporate and commercial matters.
This may include contract review, corporate documentation, employment matters, legal opinions, regulatory questions, negotiations and advice on issues arising in the ordinary course of business.
International Companies and Cross-Border Matters
We assist international companies, investors and professional advisers requiring advice on Palestinian law or legal support in Palestine. Our services are available in Arabic and English, enabling us to work with bilingual documentation and coordinate with clients and advisers located outside Palestine.
Discuss Your Corporate or Commercial Matter
Corporate and commercial matters vary according to the nature of the business, transaction and parties involved. Early legal review can help establish an appropriate structure, clarify contractual obligations and identify legal risks before they develop into larger problems.
