Our Practice

Though we think of ourselves as perfectionists, yet we excel in the following fields.

Legal Sevices

We make a positive change in corporate and private life and deliver the best legal services to our clients.

We have been helping businesses and non-profits set up shop for over a decade now. When doing so, we guide them through various corporate structures, corporate governance practices, management options, and shareholder arrangements.

For over a decade we have been known as the go-to shop for Mergers and Acquisitions and Corporate Restructuring. Our partner Dr. Misak Babajanyan is a renowned authority in this field. We have advised on some of the biggest M&A deals in the country and continue doing so.

As the Armenian start-up industry is growing, IP protection is becoming more sought. Sometimes, “IP perpetrators” play against the rules of the game, making us roll up our sleeves and take action and defend our clients’ IP rights.

When we were a boutique law firm, our bread-and-butter was debt and equity financing, and we are proud to say that it remains so. We have advised on hundreds of debt and financing deals, and some of the largest ones. After all, two of our partners have a master’s degree in Financial and Banking Law, and our founding partner Dr. Tigran Karapetyan is also the “founding father” of private equity in Armenia.

Another bread-and-butter field for us. We have been advising various International Financial Institutions, International Development Institutions, banks (both commercial and investment), investment funds and companies, as well as lenders of various sizes and types. We cover both the public (regulation, supervision, and enforcement), and the private law aspects of each service or transaction we advise. All our partners have worked for financial institutions at some point in their long careers and collectively have authored over 200 financial sectors laws and regulations. Read our client notes on …

This service is growing in importance by the day in Armenia, as Armenian businesses and projects are opening up for world investments. We have walked in tandem with several investors in their quest to find investable companies and projects.

Armenia is becoming a hub for renewable energy. This is causing deals and transactions in this sector to grow exponentially. The regulatory framework in this field is becoming more complex each day, and clients and investors need knowledgeable guidance both in industry-specific and general corporate and financial issues. Over the past years, we have advised a host of companies in this field and are ready to continue to do so, as we have gained valuable experience.

Sometimes, our clients fall victim to corporate or financial fraud and need our assistance. In these cases, we work tirelessly with law enforcement agencies and the court system to ensure that the fraudsters and charlatans are put away and damages are duly compensated. Also, Armenian has introduced criminal liability for corporations. To decrease potential risks, we work with compliance teams to set up the required guardrails, policies, and procedures.

Since many of our clients are lenders, often we need to advise them on the perils of corporate insolvency and how to navigate through the various technicalities on enforcing contracts or collateral, business wind-up, and working with the insolvency court and managers, as well as other debtors. Please read our client note on…

We believe that laws and regulations should not stay stagnant. So do many of our clients, and sometimes even the regulators, with whom we are in constant contact. Over the past years, we have drafted and (or) promoted landmark laws and regulations in Armenia. Just to name a few: Remote Voting in Corporations (COVID-19 measure), Limitations on Meritless Lawsuits Against Real Estate Developers, Public-Private Partnership, Crowdfunding, etc.

Here at TK & Partners, we love Abraham Lincoln’s words: “Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker, the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough”. In our everyday work, we strive to be good men and women, by trying to create bridges between our clients and their counterparts. We do so because we also strongly abide by President Kennedy’s famous quote: “Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate”. We leave our fear to negotiate at the door because we know how to haul anyone to court and litigate with “tooth and nail”. So yes, negotiation and litigation skills are two qualities you can find at the firm.

Before advising on a particular structure for a transaction, first, we think about tax (often looked over by many lawyers in Armenia) and the burden that it might create for the parties to the transaction. Therefore, we put together the transaction under the most favorable tax scheme available. Sometimes, our clients have to litigate with the tax(wo)men. So, we make sure that they get their day in the court. Read our client notes on …

As an asset class, real estate is often considered to be one of the most complicated ones due to a huge body of laws and regulations affecting the transactions. Over the years we have accumulated an encyclopedia of knowledge and experience on various real estate transactions, inter alia construction, transfer, lease, development, purchase, financing, etc.

Many Armenians from the Diaspora, as well as foreigners, have been choosing Armenia either as their base or as a home away from home. We do a lot of handholding here, often inter alia accompanying our client to the medical clinic for the required medical checkup! Read or client notes on
