This course also focuses on the practical aspects of incorporating a company or other business organisations. It covers drafting MoA and AoA, post-incorporation advice and compliance, conversion of business forms, pre-incorporation contract effects, and ancillary matters like name changes and MoA alterations. The course provides hands-on training, checklists, and exercises to prepare students for real-world incorporation scenarios. Upon completion, participants will have the skills to confidently handle incorporation matters and build their practice in this area.
Just as a company comes into existence through a legal formality called incorporation, its activities cease, and the company’s life comes to an end through a process called winding up. The course discusses the reasons for winding up, petitions for winding up, summary procedure, liquidation and dissolution. The exercises will include the compliance and filings before the Tribunal and the Registrar.
