Corporate & Legal

Home / Corporate & Legal

One coordinated team. Structurally aligned execution.

Structural Clarity from Incorporation to Exit.

Corporate documentation is not administrative - it is evidential. Our Corporate & Legal practice operates in close coordination with our tax, audit, accounting, payroll and fiduciary teams to ensure incorporations, restructurings, contracts and governance actions are aligned from the outset with their tax and financial implications.

We support local and international clients with formation, structuring, commercial agreements, compliance and transactions, delivering disciplined execution and practical clarity, because legal structure should protect commercial reality, not complicate it.

Regulatory Requirement

AML / KYC onboarding
& periodic reviews

As a regulated professional services firm, ServPRO is required to apply a risk-based approach and perform client due diligence (CDD/EDD) at onboarding and at periodic intervals thereafter, in line with applicable AML laws and regulations.

This process protects both the client and our firm, supports sustainable structures, and is often necessary to facilitate banking and ongoing corporate administration.

Clear legal advice, disciplined execution, coordinated with your tax and finance reality.

What the process typically includes

  • Collection and review of KYC documentation for shareholders, directors, UBOs and authorised signatories.
  • Risk assessment and client profile review (including periodic refreshes and event-driven updates).
  • Where required, Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and supporting documentation.
  • Review of source of funds / source of wealth documentation (case-by-case).
  • Maintenance of an up-to-date compliance file and annual/periodic review cycles.
  • Coordination of updates where changes occur (ownership/control, directors, activity, jurisdictions).
