Company Law and Compliance

We provide a broad range of services ranging from practical advice on company law and regulatory compliance issues to company secretarial matters. We’ve made a substantial investment in specialist company secretarial software, which allows us to administer a company's books in electronic format and to email any statutory information to the company or a third party within seconds. In addition, we cover the full range of company law issues from how to set up companies to duties of directors and secretaries, meeting procedures, the corporate manslaughter regime, and advising on shareholder disputes.

For our listed clients and larger private companies we provide corporate governance and best practice advice.
