Company Establishment

Starting a company is a milestone that demands both strategic planning and legal precision. Whether you're a local entrepreneur or a foreign investor, forming a company in the Kurdistan Region opens the door to commercial opportunities in one of Iraq’s most business-friendly jurisdictions. Our law firm provides comprehensive legal services tailored to each stage of the company formation process, ensuring full compliance with local laws and international standards.


We work with clients to select the optimal legal structure — whether a limited liability company (LLC), joint-stock company, branch office, or representative office — based on their specific goals, industry requirements, and capital structure. From there, we manage every step of the incorporation process, including drafting foundational documents, securing name approval, preparing shareholder agreements, and filing registration with the Kurdistan Directorate of Companies.


Our legal team handles both domestic and foreign-owned company registrations, including the opening of branches for multinational corporations, NGOs, and other entities operating across borders. We assist with licensing, tax registration, labor compliance, and intellectual property protection, ensuring our clients are not just incorporated — but legally empowered to operate and grow.


Beyond formation, we offer annual legal supervision, regulatory updates, contract reviews, and strategic restructuring advice. We also help companies manage mandatory renewals, tax obligations, and — if necessary — voluntary dissolution or exit planning.


Whether you're building your first startup or expanding a global enterprise into the Kurdistan Region, we deliver legal certainty, local insight, and unmatched attention to detail.


Our company establishment services include:


- Company registration for Iraqi nationals and residents

- Opening branches of foreign and Iraqi companies

- Corporate governance and shareholder agreements

- Renewal and maintenance of corporate status

- Annual legal supervision and compliance

- Tax advisory and regulatory reporting

We are committed to helping you build on a solid legal foundation — because a well-formed company is the first step toward long-term success.
