Commercial Contracts and Business Licensing

Y&S Legal provides comprehensive legal services to support the efficient and compliant operation of businesses. Our team advises on the drafting, review, and execution of commercial contracts, ensuring that our clients’ legal interests are safeguarded and that business transactions are structured with clarity, precision, and enforceability.

At Y&S Legal, we provide strategic legal advisory and transactional support for domestic and cross-border commercial arrangements. Our practice focuses on the drafting, negotiation, review, and execution of commercial contracts that are legally robust, commercially aligned, and enforceable across jurisdictions.

We advise businesses, investors, and entrepreneurs operating in multiple markets, ensuring that contractual frameworks address regulatory requirements, risk allocation, and international best practices.

Our commercial contracts expertise includes, without limitation, the following:

Joint Development Agreements (JDA)

We advise on and draft Joint Development Agreements for real estate and infrastructure projects, under which property owners grant development rights to developers in exchange for a defined share in the developed assets and/or financial consideration. Our agreements clearly address development rights, revenue sharing, timelines, dispute resolution, and cross-border considerations where applicable.

Employment Agreements

We draft and review Employment Agreements and executive contracts aligned with applicable labour laws and international employment standards. These agreements define roles, compensation, confidentiality, non-compete obligations, termination rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms.

Investor Agreements

We advise on Investor and Investment Agreements governing equity, convertible instruments, and debt investments. Our services cover capital structure, valuation, governance rights, investor protections, exit mechanisms, and regulatory compliance for both domestic and international investors.

Share Purchase Agreements (SPA)

We assist in drafting and negotiating Share Purchase Agreements for mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments. These agreements comprehensively address purchase consideration, payment structures, representations and warranties, indemnities, conditions precedent, and closing obligations.

Asset Purchase Agreements

We provide legal support for Asset Purchase Agreements involving the transfer of business assets such as plant and machinery, intellectual property, goodwill, inventory, contractual rights, and real estate interests. Our drafting ensures clear asset identification, valuation, and allocation of liabilities.

Shareholders’ Agreements

We draft Shareholders’ Agreements governing corporate governance, voting rights, minority protection, dividend policy, transfer restrictions, and exit rights. These agreements are structured to ensure long-term stability and alignment between shareholders across jurisdictions.

Investment Agreements

We advise on Investment Agreements that formalize funding arrangements, outlining capital contribution methods, expected returns, timelines, disclosure obligations, and investor exit strategies. Our focus is on legal certainty and enforceability in both domestic and international transactions.

Founders’ Agreements

We assist in drafting Founders’ Agreements that define the foundational relationship between co-founders. These agreements cover equity allocation, capital contributions, management roles, intellectual property ownership, vesting schedules, exit provisions, and dispute resolution.
