Mandviwalla & Zafar is a first port of call for companies and their boards. Alongside routine advice on the formation and conduct of companies, joint ventures and partnerships, we handle major transactional work — the purchase, sale and financing of companies and businesses, development-capital projects and corporate re-organisations. We have particular experience of cross-border transactions, from corporate restructuring and acquisitions for overseas purchasers to acting as the pivotal advisers on complex cross-frontier acquisitions and disposals.

We advise on commercial agreements of every kind — agency, distribution, franchising, licensing, manufacturing and equipment-leasing arrangements — as well as on trading and consumer law. Our job is to help clients do business with the minimum of regulatory or other interference, with accurate, prompt advice at the moment it is needed.
