About

Provided by Rahman's Chambers

The Corporate, Finance & Shipping Department orchestrates sophisticated cross-border transactions for global enterprises and maritime stakeholders, engineering complex structural solutions tailored to South Asia's stringent regulatory landscape.

The corporate division excels in navigating Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and managing intricate joint-venture restructurings. It provides critical legal architecture for global takeovers, mitigating risks tied to offshore indirect transfer rules, asset versus share acquisition dilemmas, and complex valuation metrics for capital gains.

In finance, the team navigates strict foreign exchange controls governing capital repatriation, technology remittances, and redeemable preference shares. The practice also counsels global manufacturers on macro-economic trade shifts, preparing clients for impending LDC graduation, alterations to the EU’s Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP), and WTO Subsidies compliance.

Integrating Rahman's Chambers' premier shipping capabilities, the department executes major maritime logistics consolidations, complex shipbuilding contracts, vessel decommissioning, and the specialized taxation of foreign maritime personnel. This synergistic approach ensures seamless commercial continuity across multi-jurisdictional investments.
