FAQs: Corporate & Commercial Law
What types of companies can be incorporated ?
The US offers a range of corporate structures tailored to different commercial objectives. The most common include Exempted Companies (used primarily for offshore ventures), Ordinary Resident Companies (for local trade), Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), and various Partnership forms including Exempted Limited Partnerships (ELPs), which are especially popular in investment fund structures. At Pilar Trust Legal, we assess your operational goals, regulatory obligations, and industry requirements to recommend the most suitable structure from the outset.
Do I need a local registered office or director to set up a company?
Yes. Every company must maintain a registered office. For Exempted Companies, there is no requirement to have a local director, though having one may be beneficial for certain regulatory or operational purposes. We can advise on the specific requirements for your chosen structure.

We serve a diverse range of industries including financial services, investment funds, technology, real estate, hospitality, healthcare, retail, logistics, and professional services. Our team has experience across both local enterprises and international corporate structures.

Can Pilar Trust Legal assist with shareholder and director disputes?
Yes. Our team has extensive experience in resolving shareholder and director disputes, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. We advise on unfair prejudice petitions, just and equitable winding-up petitions, and other dispute resolution mechanisms.
