Our services include:

Company incorporation & structuring: We advice clients with the setting up of domestic and global business companies (GBCs), foundations, limited partnerships, and other vehicles in Mauritius and assist with the preparation of their constitutive documents. Our structuring advice considers tax efficiency, control, succession planning, and regulatory risk.

Mergers, acquisitions & due diligence: Our M&A team supports share and asset acquisitions, corporate reorganisations, and joint ventures. We conduct legal due diligence, draft transaction documents, and coordinate closing procedures, ensuring compliance with the Companies Act, competition law, and sector-specific regulations.

Financial Services Commission (FSC) licensing: We assist clients in applying for and maintaining financial services licenses including but not limited to, investment dealers, fintech entities, virtual asset service providers (VASPs), and other regulated activities. Our team handles application strategy, fit and proper compliance, and licensing requirements.

AML/CFT compliance: We help regulated entities build risk-based compliance programs aligned with the Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act, rules and regulations thereunder, and FSC Guidelines. This includes client onboarding procedures, internal controls, and audit readiness.

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) compliance: ESG is becoming a cornerstone of responsible business. We support clients in embedding ESG practices into corporate strategy, disclosures, and compliance, particularly where ESG reporting is becoming a board-level responsibility.

Advisory on virtual assets: We advise fintech startups, token issuers, and VASPs on legal treatment of digital assets in Mauritius, covering classification, licensing under the Virtual Asset & Initial Token Offering Services Act, and cross-border risks.
