Decline & Exit

UNILEX guides private and public companies on corporate governance and compliance. The Commercial Companies Law (UAE) and the Companies Act, 1956 and 2013 (India) regulate private and public companies in these jurisdictions. Corporate governance and compliance are key to business success, bringing discipline to the corporate structure — and non-compliance is often fatal to the continued operation of a company. We advise clients on the legal intricacies of good governance, supporting the development and implementation of governance benchmarks that strengthen business performance, internal discipline, transparency, accountability and market integrity.

Statutory Compliance

Operating a business and employing personnel requires compliance with laws such as the Labour Law (UAE) and related Federal and Emirate decrees, and, in India, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Factories Act, and the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, among others. Non-compliance with formalities under labour regulations can invite unnecessary consequences. Our lawyers maintain in-depth knowledge of international corporate governance protocols alongside local requirements, updated through regular engagement with the relevant authorities. We advise every form of corporation — public and private companies, banks, HUFs, cooperative societies, and family businesses — on governance and compliance practice.
