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. A solicitor advises on governance, shareholder agreements, employment contracts, IP protection, and commercial leases, and helps with regulatory disclosures, tax registrations, and initial funding or investor terms. 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.

Tagged solicitor Siobhan Williams

First time we have used Darwin Gray and would certainly use again. Siobhan Williams is a fantastic Senior Associate. She handled the sale of our business, kept us informed at all times, was really helpful, really simplified the process and always fought our corner. Her communication was second to none, even responding late into the evenings. I cannot rate Siobhan highly enough, fantastic service.
