Corporate Services

Our Corporate Services team consists of trained and knowledgeable lawyers and paralegals (under direct partner supervision) with years of experience in corporate legal advice and general business law. We provide services at an international quality standard, consistent with MdME Lawyers’s reputation as one of Macau’s leading law firms.

We constantly strive to provide reliable and efficient service to our clients, guiding them in complying with all their corporate and regulatory obligations, and easing their corporate administrative challenges. We work to understand each client’s business, as well as its corporate secretarial requirements, to ultimately ensure that our service is focused on their needs.

Considering that every incorporated vehicle or overseas company intending to establish a place of business in Macau must comply with a number of statutory requirements, our Corporate Services make available anything needed to start or run a business, from a legal perspective.

Our Incorporation Services and related services are prompt, cost-effective, solution driven and include: 

• Company incorporation;
• Branch registration of foreign corporations;
• Tax registration of overseas based companies.

This solution has been created, bearing in mind that certain investments do not have such a dimension that justifies a local secretarial back office at a local level, adding to the fact that some clients prefer to be assured by a competent team from a compliance perspective.

With this in mind, MdME Lawyers offers a wide range of tailor-made services, from Corporate Secretarial Services to Client Support Services, designed to assist any corporate vehicle in accomplishing any routine changes and in maintaining good corporate standing under the laws of Macau.
