Ferox Legal advises companies, shareholders, board members, family offices, venture capital investors and other financial sponsors on all aspects of corporate and transactional law.

Our practice covers domestic and cross-border M&A transactions, joint ventures, financing rounds, management participation programmes, corporate reorganisations and restructurings, as well as corporate governance and compliance matters. We have particular experience in mandates that arise at the intersection of corporate law, M&A, insolvency and dispute resolution.

In addition to transactional matters, Ferox Legal advises companies, shareholders and board members on the full range of day-to-day corporate law issues. These include matters relating to corporate organisation, management and representation, corporate governance, disclosure and reporting obligations, as well as internal and external compliance requirements.

A further focus of our practice is corporate disputes and directors’ and officers’ liability matters. We represent clients in shareholder disputes, challenges to shareholder resolutions, post-M&A disputes and proceedings involving the liability of directors, managing directors and supervisory board members. We regularly act before state courts, arbitral tribunals and in out-of-court dispute resolution proceedings.
