Top 10 of 960 law firms for Director Independence, Company Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Director independence covers the recruitment and ongoing role of independent non‑executive directors in UK companies. A solicitor practising in this area helps ensure board independence, assess conflicts of interest, and advise on arrangements for appointment, removal and committees such as audit and remuneration. They draft or review board independence policies, advise on disclosures under the Companies Act 2006, and assist with governance reforms that bolster corporate accountability. They may also advise on shareholder rights and transparency in governance.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Independent directors provide checks on strategy and risk; a solicitor ensures appointments are properly governed and that independence is verifiable. They work with audit committees and shareholder groups to document constraints, complete necessary disclosures, and handle conflicts of interest in governance.

Carla Murray

Tagged solicitor Carla Murray

As a new founder stepping into external legal counsel for the first time, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I run a niche business, and it was really important to me that whoever I worked with actually understood not just the legal side, but the vision, direction, and specific needs of what I’m building. From the very first conversation, she completely got it. She took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve, asked the right questions, and translated complex legal points into clear, practical guidance that made sense for my stage of growth. I never once felt overwhelmed or out of my depth, which, as a first-time founder with some legal knowledge massively helped make the process really efficient I felt supported, understood, and genuinely looked after throughout. For something that initially felt daunting, the experience couldn’t have gone smoother. It gave me real confidence as I take the next steps in growing my business. An easy 5-star service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carla to any founder, especially those taking their first step into external legal support.

Elinor Hind

Tagged solicitor Elinor Hind

I have been in the property business for over 30 years, and I have used various solicitor firms from London to Edinburgh. However I have never come across such professional, helpful, and efficient solicitors such as Anna and Elinor. They provided me with a wonderful service and were caring towards my needs. They re-wrote the articles of my company and went over and beyond to sort my issues out. They also did a PG certificate. These 2 ladies are the jewel in the crown of your firm and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. If I was looking at employing solicitors myself, I wouldn't hesitate in giving these 2 ladies a job.

Mohammed Rahman

Tagged solicitor Mohammed Rahman

We are purchasing in a company name using another solicitor. They told us last minute that we need to use another Solicitor and give a Personal Guarantee. Mohammed was recommended and he explained the reasons why we needed it. Why the broker or their referral solicitor couldn't explain this to us earlier, I do not know. BMTC dealt with it last minute and Mohammed treated us like humans and not just throwing complicated jargon at us. We managed to complete on target despite this being thrown at us last minute. Thank you

Harender Branch

Tagged solicitor Harender Branch

I would most definitely recommend Branch Austin McCormick LLP. All stakeholders were looking at an exit strategy and successful sale of our company. I must say Harender and her team guided us through the process from start to finish and always there to answer any questions and protect our interest from start to finish.
