This area covers practical corporate matters for businesses, including forming or restructuring companies, updating articles of association, issuing or transferring shares, appointing directors, and maintaining statutory registers. A solicitor in this field drafts and files necessary documents with Companies House, prepares board resolutions and minute books, and handles ongoing compliance such as annual returns, confirmation statements, and notices of changes to shareholding or governance. It also covers advising on corporate governance, share schemes, and basic transactional support around mergers, acquisitions, or reorganisations as they affect the company’s structure and records.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor handles the drafting and filing of bespoke constitutional documents (articles of association, shareholders’ agreements), prepares board and shareholder resolutions, maintains statutory registers (shareholders, directors, directors’ interests), and coordinates filings with Companies House. They advise on governance changes, changes of directors, share issuances or transfers, and ensure compliance with statutory deadlines and reporting requirements in structures such as private limited companies and charities.
