Corporate and transactions
Important business decisions need clear legal judgement. Signing a contract, approving a resolution, entering a new joint venture or taking on a financial commitment can have different legal consequences for the company, its shareholders and its directors.
The Ghazaal Majdzadeh Legal Practice starts from the commercial objective and the legal dimensions of each matter, helping companies understand their obligations, constraints and legal options before they decide.

Areas of advice
The scope of directors’ authority and duties, the legal effect of resolutions and the requirements for major corporate decisions.
Drafting and reviewing commercial contracts, assessing obligations and guarantees, revising terms and supporting key negotiations.
Shareholders’ agreements, partners’ rights and obligations, and solutions for disputes over how the company is run.
Legal structuring of investment transactions, joint ventures, share transfers and changes in ownership.
The legal effect of facility agreements, collateral and guarantees for the company and its signatories.
Parent–subsidiary transactions, directors’ authority, conflicts of interest and decision-making formalities in multi-company groups.
Analysis of the dispute, negotiation and settlement options, legal correspondence and strategy before proceedings begin.
Our approach
The issue, documents, parties and the outcome the company expects are reviewed.
Obligations, authority, constraints and the effect of each option are assessed.
Advice focuses on actions that can be taken and the consequences of the decision.
Where agreed, the work continues through negotiation, documentation and follow-up.
No. Contract review, legal opinions and other matter-based services are provided independently of the ongoing engagement levels.
The client is the company. The role, authority and liability of directors in the company’s decisions are reviewed. Personal advice to an individual director requires a separate agreement and a conflict-of-interest check.
Yes. The extent of involvement in a negotiation is agreed with the company.
Representation in litigation and arbitration is accepted after reviewing the matter and conflicts of interest, under a separate agreement.
Each person’s liability depends on the type of company, their statutory powers, the articles of association and their role in the decision or act in question. The CEO and board members are not always liable in the same way, and personal liability cannot be judged from a job title alone.
In many cases, negotiation, a settlement agreement or arbitration can be considered. The right route depends on any shareholder agreements, the subject of the dispute, third-party rights and whether there is a dispute resolution clause.
Priority should go to contracts that create significant financial obligations, heavy remedies, long-term commitments or restrictions on the company’s future activities. Supply, investment, partnership and strategic cooperation agreements are common examples.
It depends on the matter, but the articles of association, relevant registry notices, contracts, correspondence and board or shareholder minutes may all be relevant. It is best to send a short outline of the issue first, so the essential documents can be identified.
If you face an important contract, a sensitive management decision, a shareholder issue or a complex transaction, send a short description. After checking acceptance and conflicts of interest, we will set out the meeting arrangements and scope of work.
