Clear legal advice for businesses that are growing across borders.
Artemis Global is an independent legal practice. We help founders, investors and owner-managed companies negotiate well, structure sensibly and stay compliant, without noise.
01 — Approach
Good advice is specific, timely and proportionate. We say what matters, what does not, and what we would do in your position.
Every engagement is led by a senior lawyer who stays on the matter from first call to signature. You will not be passed down a hierarchy or billed for learning your business.
We work with technology start-ups, family-owned groups and professional investors across Southern Africa, Europe and the Gulf, alongside local counsel wherever a matter crosses a border.
02 — Services
Four areas of work, handled end to end.
-
The term sheet sets the shape of the deal long before the long-form documents arrive. We act for founders and investors to agree valuation mechanics, control rights and exit terms that you can live with in year four, not only on signing day.
- Liquidation preferences and anti-dilution
- Board composition and reserved matters
- Vesting, leaver provisions and option pools
- Conversion of notes and SAFEs
-
We prepare young companies for diligence before an investor asks. That means clean cap tables, assigned intellectual property, tidy employment arrangements and a data room that answers questions rather than raising them.
- Legal health check and remediation plan
- Shareholders’ agreements and cap table clean-up
- IP assignment and contractor terms
- Vendor diligence and data room preparation
-
When a business begins to trade or hold assets abroad, the structure should follow commercial reality. We design holding, financing and operating structures that are tax-aware, defensible and simple enough to administer.
- Holding company and jurisdiction selection
- Cross-border tax and treaty analysis
- Intra-group financing and transfer pricing
- Substance, reporting and ongoing compliance
-
Exchange control rules are technical and unforgiving of poor submissions. We prepare and lodge applications, respond to regulator queries and advise on whether a proposed transaction needs approval at all.
- Foreign investment and loan approvals
- Remittances, dividends and royalties
- Emigration and asset transfers
- Responses to authorised dealer queries
03 — Process
How an engagement runs.
- I Listen
- A free introductory call to understand the transaction, the people involved and the deadline. We confirm whether we are the right firm for it.
- II Scope
- A written scope and fixed or capped fee, so you know the cost before work begins.
- III Advise
- Plain-language advice with a recommendation, not a list of options without a view.
- IV Close
- We carry the matter through documents, filings and approvals, and leave you with a tidy record.
