Overview   

Every registered company is a juristic person with legal powers and capacity of an individual. But what governs its conduct?  

The Memorandum of Incorporation (MoI), is the most important document under the Companies Act.  This session will unpack why this document is important to every company, what needs to be included in it, and considerations to be looked at when drafting an effective one.
