Corporate & Commercial Law
Mauritius offers a modern and reliable framework for doing business, supported by strong corporate legislation and a pro-investment regulatory environment. We assist clients across the full spectrum of corporate and commercial matters, from company incorporation to complex cross-border transactions.
Key Legal Framework in Mauritius:
- • Companies Act 2001 – the primary legislation governing company formation, management, shareholder rights, and corporate governance.
- • Registrar of Companies – oversees incorporation, company registration, and statutory compliance obligations.
- • Financial Services Commission (FSC) – regulates financial services, licensing of global business companies, and ensures compliance with sector standards.
- • Business Environment – Mauritius is recognised for its transparent legal framework, favourable tax regime with a flat 15% corporate income tax, and access to a wide network of double taxation treaties.
- • Corporate and Commercial Practice Areas – companies often require advice on mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, joint ventures, governance, restructuring, and compliance with both local and cross-border regulations.
