The compliance challenges and personal risks faced by company directors, senior executives and business owners are more onerous than ever before.
The threat of legal intervention that could result from non-compliance, and the fines (or even jail sentences) that you could face as an officer of the company need to be taken seriously.
We assist company directors and shareholders with everything they need to comply with the Companies Act (2006).
Our corporate legal services include:
Company Administration
Company Directors have strict statutory duties. We provide the necessary legal insight needed to comply with legal requirements and meet deadlines, as and when you need it. Our flexible law advisory service has been designed to meet your needs and obligations, at costs that you might find more affordable, especially with our subscription service.
We help with:
- Company secretarial services
- Legal compliance issues
- Directorial appointments
- Board resolutions
- Companies House submissions
Company Formation
Deciding the best legal entity for your organisation can be a confusing and complex process, but it is a very important decision, because the right vehicle may offer significant tax, privacy, protection and other benefits compared to the other options.
If you’re starting or re-structuring your organisation, we’ll help you to understand the differences between being a sole trader, a limited company and a partnership, and any other relevant options.
Then we can help you register your organisation at Companies House, for example, and ensure that all the necessary documentation is duly filed.
Our services include:
- Company structure advice and guidance
- Help in understanding the tax implications of each organisational vehicle
- Your statutory duties and commitments when you set up the organisation
- Your ongoing obligations and deadlines
Board Advisory Services
Being a board director or a NED (Non-Executive Director) comes with an increasing array of governance obligations and commitments.
Our team of highly-qualified experts can guide you through the maze, and ensure that you fulfil all your statutory duties.
If you’re joining a board, recruiting new members to the board, or re-structuring an existing boardroom team, we’ll help you to understand your commitments and legal obligations.
Our services include:
- Being a great board director
- Avoiding non-compliance
- Board composition and recruitment
- Onboarding and induction – governance best practices
- Taking and assessing minutes at board meetings, either in situ or virtually (in real time, so decisions can be made quickly, without delays)
