In England, this work covers the steps to create a limited company under the Companies Act, culminating in a certificate of incorporation issued by Companies House when the company is registered. A solicitor drafts and files the formation documents ( memorandum and articles of association, initial officers, registered office) and checks name availability, confirms the company is properly constituted, and handles post-formation filings and ongoing compliance. They also advise on share structure and director responsibilities arising from incorporation.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor drafts, files and records the necessary documents (including the memorandum and articles of association and Form IN01), arranges the initial appointment of directors and the company secretary, and ensures accurate registration details. They explain duties of directors, share allocations, and the implications of incorporation for liability and governance, while preparing for subsequent filings and corporate housekeeping.
