This is one prospect that keeps developing day by day and it contains a huge bunch of regulations. Corporate Law is bound by five major characteristics which include the legal personality of an entity, limited liability, transfer of shares, delegated management under a board structure, and investor ownership. Corporate Law governs businesses and companies to ensure that there is a legally-guided approach towards the fulfilled achievement of the above-mentioned five characteristics. A company needs to have a proper method of internal control in order to safeguard the shareholders and other stakeholders of the company.  Apart from the directors of the Company, only proper regulations can guide the companies in this aspect. There are various statutes that control the mechanism of corporate governance in Afghanistan.

In the arena of international trade, we handle trade disputes through arbitration, conciliation, and also litigation depending upon the treaties and regulations. Such disputes also include the resolving of the issues relating to the dumping of goods which was a concept established by WTO. Goods in this concern are referred to be dumped when a company exports goods from one country to another at prices less than that in the importing country. Certain companies follow this procedure generally in order to dispose of certain goods which have less demand in the importing country and can be useful in the country to which they have been exported. In such situations, these companies are required to pay an anti-dumping duty which is meant to bring back fair trade on an international forum. Consequently, the domestic industry is secured in the aspects of fair trade.

litigation

Business Law

This is one aspect of the law that requires a lot of attention as it dwells within society. Criminal litigation is way different from civil litigation as the former rushes to punishment as per the penal law and the latter tries to settle with compensation and dispute resolution. Criminal law demands fines as well as punishment in order to make it more deterrent for the existing criminals in society. We have a specialized team dealing with such cases where we put in our best of efforts to provide the appropriate relief.

Employment is another area of focus from a legal point of view. Any kind of employment comes along with a package of guidelines, legal compliance, and agreements at the beginning of employment as well as retirement. Along with benefits and compliance, there are certain protective measures as well. Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 was passed so as to provide equal opportunities in education, employment, social security, and an unbiased atmosphere for the disabled. Section 47 of the Act provides that a government establishment is forbidden from reducing an employee’s rank if he or she acquires a disability during the course of their appointment.
