Business and Corporate Law Services in Armenia
Business and corporate law governs how companies are formed, operated, and dissolved. It establishes the principle of corporate legal personality, meaning that a company exists as a distinct legal entity. As such, a business can own property, sign contracts, and take on liabilities independently of its owners. Our firm helps clients understand and apply these rules effectively.
Our main services in the field of business and corporate law include addressing issues related to mergers, demergers, acquisitions, sales, and the reorganization of internal assets. By entrusting MB Legal, whether as a legal entity or an individual, you will receive the best professional solutions in the field of corporate law from our leading lawyers in Armenia.

Finding the right business formation lawyer is one of the most critical decisions any entrepreneur or investor will make. The legal structure you choose at the outset determines how your company is taxed, governed, and protected. Our corporate law attorneys in Armenia work closely with clients to evaluate every option and select the structure that best fits their goals and risk profile.
A trusted business formation lawyer brings more than technical knowledge; they bring strategic foresight. From sole proprietorships to joint-stock companies, we handle formations of every type with precision and care.
At MB Legal, our specialists provide comprehensive support throughout these processes.

Advising on transactions and representing interests before relevant authorities
Our corporate law attorneys are here to help - whether you are starting a company, closing a deal, or navigating a complex legal challenge.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
Mergers and acquisitions involve the combination of two or more companies, resulting in either the formation of a new entity or one company absorbing another. At MB Legal, our specialists provide comprehensive legal support throughout every stage of these processes.
In the case of acquisitions, we assist with:
- A thorough review of the target company, analyzing legal, financial, operational, tax, and regulatory aspects
- Identifying potential liabilities, risks, and undisclosed legal issues – including ongoing litigation, intellectual property rights, or employment disputes
- Consulting on the optimal legal and tax structure for the acquisition
- Assessing and advising on the financial implications and tax obligations of the transaction
Our goal is to facilitate successful mergers and acquisitions that align with your strategic objectives while effectively navigating every complexity involved.
Business Separation
The division of an operating company into several separate entities can be executed through the distribution of assets or shares. When it comes to company separations, MB Legal assists you in taking all necessary steps, including:
- Ensuring the separation complies with corporate laws, tax regulations, antitrust laws, and securities regulations
- Preparing and submitting the required documentation to the relevant authorities, such as company registries or tax authorities
We also handle the drafting and review of all related legal documents, including:
- Separation agreements
- Corporate governance documents
- Contracts and agreements that reflect the new corporate structure
Purchasing a Business
Purchasing a business involves acquiring ownership of an existing company – typically to enhance market share, diversify product offerings, or capitalize on an established customer base. This strategic move requires thorough due diligence to assess the financial health, operational efficiency, and market position of the target business.
Successful acquisitions can generate synergies that improve overall performance, but they also carry risks, including cultural integration challenges and unexpected liabilities. MB Legal’s attorneys in Armenia conduct comprehensive reviews of target companies, negotiate favorable purchase terms, and draft airtight agreements – so you can move forward with confidence knowing exactly what you are acquiring.
Selling a Business
The complete or partial sale of an operating company involves the transfer of assets and/or shares to another company or investors. MB Legal’s specialists assist sellers in taking the following steps:
- Conducting an internal audit to review the company’s legal, financial, and operational aspects
- Consulting on the selection of a legally sound corporate structure for the sale, including reorganizations and the sale of assets or shares
- Ensuring the sale complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including antitrust, tax, securities laws, and industry-specific regulations
- Providing tax advice covering capital gains tax, income tax, and VAT
Corporate Reorganization
During corporate reorganization, a company changes its structure or mode of operation to enhance business efficiency and fully achieve its objectives. The process may involve mergers, acquisitions, divisions, or the implementation of a new management model.
MB Legal provides expert legal counsel at every stage – analyzing the implications of each option, guiding management through the chosen path, and ensuring full compliance with Armenian corporate law throughout.
