Corporate & commercial

Company formation, governance, shareholder arrangements and the commercial contracts a business runs on.

We act for companies through their whole life: incorporation, the agreements between their shareholders, the contracts they trade under, and the corporate filings that keep them in good standing at the Office of the Company Registrar.

Much of this work is preventative. Shareholder deadlock, unclear signing authority and unenforceable termination clauses are cheaper to address when the document is drafted than when the relationship has broken down.
