Setting up a business covers the legal steps from choosing a business structure to beginning trading. A solicitor in Company & Commercial helps plan the formation, draft and file the necessary documents, register with Companies House, and set up share structures, director appointments, and shareholder agreements. They advise on regulatory and tax implications, help with commercial contracts and IP considerations as the business starts, and coordinate with accountants, banks and lenders through the incorporation, registrations and opening stages.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor handles the complexities of choosing the right entity, drafting and filing articles of association and other formation documents, ensuring compliant share structures, and preparing director and officer arrangements. They manage the interaction with Companies House, register the business, and align contracts and IP considerations with long‑term growth while advising on initial regulatory and governance requirements. This work involves navigating corporate structures, initial funding steps and setting up essential commercial arrangements.

We have used Churchgate for both financial planning and legal matters, and we were extremely pleased with their services.
