Corporate lawyer in Tashkent
Corporate law — company formation, shareholder and founder relations, commercial contracts, and M&A — underpins business success. Proper structure and documents under Uzbekistan law reduce disputes and tax risk. Cima Legal advises entrepreneurs and companies in Tashkent. From small business to international deals we choose the right legal format; at an initial consultation we assess goals and risks.
When you need corporate counsel
Legal help is critical when opening a company, attracting foreign investment, signing a major contract, or forming a joint venture. Wrong structure or contracts can lead to litigation and financial loss.
Charter amendments, share sales, and board meeting documents also need professional review.
- LLC, JSC, and other entity forms
- Commercial contracts and distribution
- M&A, investment, and due diligence
Company formation and compliance
We select optimal structure considering registration, charter, internal rules, and licensing. We advise on tax and labor compliance.
Corporate documents — resolutions, minutes, powers of attorney — are prepared to legal requirements.
Contracts and disputes
We draft and review supply, services, franchising, and confidentiality agreements. In disputes between parties we negotiate or litigate.
We have experience with English and Russian documents in cross-border deals.
M&A and investors
In acquisitions, share purchases, or mergers, due diligence, price agreement, warranties, and closing documents matter. Counsel helps balance both sides.
Foreign investors receive advice on joint ventures, branches, and local licensing.
Construction and investment projects
Construction requires review of land allocation, permits, contractor agreements, and investor deals. Foreign participants may need bilingual documents.
Due diligence before project start reduces risk and supports deadline compliance.
Employment and corporate compliance
Employment contracts, internal rules, termination, and labor disputes are part of corporate compliance. Documents and processes must prevent unlawful practices.
Corporate governance — shareholder meetings, board resolutions, limits of authority — also needs legal support.
Consultation and engagement
Briefly describe your business need — we offer consultation, contract review, or ongoing corporate support. Approach is tailored to small business and large companies.
Meetings in Tashkent or remote. Confidentiality and trade secret protection are guaranteed.
Small business and large companies
For new entrepreneurs we help with LLC formation, charter drafting, and bank account opening — reducing start-up errors.
For large companies we support M&A, securities markets, and corporate disputes. Cima Legal offers fit-for-purpose approaches.
Ongoing legal support — monthly consultation and contract review — suits growing businesses.
Corporate documents and meetings
Shareholder and participant meeting minutes, resolutions, and powers of attorney comply with legal requirements. Flawed meeting documents can void transactions.
Internal policies, compliance policies, and employment contract packages can be standardized for SMBs.
Before government inspections we audit documents and fix gaps.
International deals and investors
Contracts with foreign companies, joint ventures, and branches involve two legal systems. Agreements are often in English and Russian.
Investor rights, dividend policy, and shareholder agreements (SHA) matter in M&A and startup projects.
Consultation formats for business
One-off contract review, project-based M&A support, or monthly retainer — format depends on business scale.
At the first meeting we discuss company structure, planned deal, and risks. We provide next steps and a quote.
