Company advice

For the efficient and effective operation of a company, its officers need to have a good grasp of the provisions of company legislation. We can advise on any issues that may arise.

If you intend to set up a company we can assist with this process and provide all the initial advice that you will need. Please see our section on Starting or Investing in a Business.

Once established, the day to day management of your company will require its officers to understand the regulations which affect its operations. We are able to advice on these matters for the everyday operation and governance of the company. This may relate to changing the companys constitutional documents, changing its name, reregistering the company or simply commonplace events such as the calling and holding of board and shareholders meetings or the passing of resolutions.

Contact us first if the company is undertaking more complex strategic steps. This might be as part of a reorganisation or refinancing and might include a share buyback, a capital reduction, a sub-division of share capital or an issue of shares on a fresh subscription. We have experience in these and many other areas.

We can also advise directors or shareholders who require expert advice for themselves as individuals as opposed to advice for the company. We often assist directors in understanding their duties (including their rights and liabilities) and advise shareholders on their rights.
