This work covers forming new companies, establishing their constitutional framework, and transferring a portfolio of assets or businesses between entities. A solicitor drafts and files the formation documents, prepares articles of association and share structures, and registers changes with Companies House. They also document and negotiate asset transfer arrangements, group restructurings, and any required notices to third parties, ensuring compliance under the Companies Act and related regulations. The process often involves coordinating with tax advisers and accountants to implement the restructuring.
