Requirements
Divorce laws vary from country to country, so it’s important to understand the rules where you will fill the divorce application and how they will affect your case. You may think to file for a divorce without a local attorney, but it's probably best to at least consult with an Armenian lawyer before filing. An attorney can help you figure out where to file, how to fill out the appropriate paperwork, and explain how the process of filing for divorce works in Armenia. In Armenia there are 2 general options to get divorced. 1-st option assumes that both spouses are agreeing to fill a joint application for a divorce. In the course of this option you won’t need to go to a court and the time frames to complete the procedure are quite comprehensive.
Where there is no consent from your spouse for a joint divorce application, or the latest refuses to answer your requests, you will need to proceed with a court application to a General Jurisdiction Court located in Armenia. In this scenario we will provide an experienced divorce lawyer from our law firm to present your best interests before the Armenian court.
Rest assured that you have come to the right place. Please contact us now to determine the right way for us to help you. You can email or call us at any time. We monitor all inquiries 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and we promise to get right back to you to serve you.

If you are considering the prospect of establishing an Armenian branch of an existing company or starting a new business in Armenia, there are numerous factors to consider and decisions to make.
You will need to decide what form of business entity to establish. In Armenia, businesses can be incorporated as Limited Liability Company (LLC), Closed Joint Stock Company (CJSC), branch offices and representative offices or sole proprietorships. Although there are numerous "business consultant" services providing company registration services, it is sensible to take advice from a professional licensed lawyer.
Setting up a Company
A company is a legal entity with a separate identity from those who own or run it.
Who forms the company?
A company is registered by filing the necessary documents and paying the required fee at State Registry of Legal Entities in Armenia. The company is brought into existence when the State Registry of Legal Entities issues the certificate of incorporation.The prospective owners of the company can either register a new company with documents that are specifically tailored to their requirements (a tailor-made company) or buy a company that has already been incorporated, but has not yet traded (a shelf company), and modify its constitutional documents to meet their needs.
Shares and shareholders
A fundamental question is who will own the company (that is to say its shares).
Shareholders can be either physical persons or corporate entities- nationals or foreigners. Though It is worth noting that where an LLC is being registered there shall be either one or more shareholder physical persons or two or more legal entities.
Director
An early decision to make is who will be the initial director of the company. Company needs to have at least one director. In Armenia the company can have only one director, thus it's not possible a company with multiple directors which is common in other countries. There are no requirements for citizenship or residency for the purposed director, thus any foreigner can act as a director of the company being incorporated in Armenia. There is a possibility of formation of board of directors to be responsible for the specific questions but this is rarely used and is considered for a larger entities. The company’s articles of association can impose a higher minimum requirement. The director to be appointed must consent to act as a director.
Name of the company
The company's name must end with "Limited Liability Company" "Closed Joint Stock Company" "Branch of xxx company " "Representative office of xxx company”
LLC is the most standard and common form of company registration in Armenia. LLC is an abbreviated expression of Limited Liability Company. There is no form of company registration such as LTD. Ltd., or Limited, is a suffix that follows the name of a company, indicating it is a private limited company. This is incorporation available under British, Irish and some Commonwealth countries' laws but not in Armenia. LLC in Armenia has the same functions, responsibilities and capabilities as LTD.
Before finalising a company name, checks should be run by searching at State Registry of Legal Entities (using their WebCHeck service) for an existing name on the index of company names. The Trade Marks Register of the Armenian Intellectual Property Office should also be checked to avoid further issues. This is because if the name includes the registered trade mark of a third party, the use of that name will automatically breach the registered mark if the intended use is in the same class

Foreign Patents
Foreign Trademarks
Foreign Copyrights
The rights grated by a country IP office have no effect in foreign countries. Almost every country has its own patent and trademark law, so a person desiring a patent or a trademark in a particular country must apply for a patent and trademark in accordance with the requirements of that country.
Laws in most foreign countries differs from each other. Often, a patent must be filed before any documentation about the invention is published
The Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property is an international treaty by which 168 countries in which each country guarantees foreigners the same patent rights extended to citizens of that country. It also provides for the "right of priority," meaning that a patent application filed in one country may be given the same filing date in other member countries, if the subsequent filings are within a specified time period (6 or 12 months, depending on the patent). The right of priority is important because it ensures that publications and competing patents that might invalidate the inventor's application do not count against the inventor.
The Patent Cooperation Treaty has more than 124 member nations and provides for centralized filing procedures and a standard application format. Regional patent centers now facilitate a single international filing date for each application. This international filing also affords centralized patent research for each invention and extended time periods for filing the patent in each country.
