General Company Law covers the formation, governance and ongoing duties of companies, and how they interact with shareholders, creditors and regulators. A solicitor in this area drafts constitutional documents, such as articles of association and shareholder agreements, reviews and negotiates contracts, and handles corporate transactions like share issues, restructurings and mergers. They advise on directors’ duties, fiduciary responsibilities, compliance with the Companies Act 2006 and ongoing filings with Companies House, and resolve disputes that arise in boardrooms or through shareholder action.
