This work covers helping new businesses get up and running under English law: choosing a company or alternative structure, registering with Companies House and HM Revenue & Customs, and drafting founding documents.

They also map ongoing compliance duties and basic risk management as the business grows.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Drafting and filing the constitutional documents, negotiating early terms with investors, and setting up contracts requires specialist attention to structure, liability, and governance. The solicitor handles company formation, share allocations, and the drafting of articles of association, as well as key commercial and employment contracts, with an eye to potential disputes and regulatory compliance.

Really impressed with the service and professionalism at Poole Alcock. Initially dealt with Scott Harding to help me and my business partner set up our first venture. Made everything nice and simple, and most importantly, cut through the jargon. Thanks for all your help

We cannot thank Mohammed enough for the incredible work he put into getting the sale of our business completed. From start to finish, he worked tirelessly, always staying one step ahead and keeping everything running smoothly. What truly stood out was his dedication. he went above and beyond, even working after hours to make sure nothing was delayed. His professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication gave us complete confidence throughout what could have been a very stressful process. Simply the best. We are extremely grateful and would highly recommend Mohammed to anyone needing a solicitor who genuinely cares about getting the job done right.
