Top 10 of 960 law firms for Share Capital Buyback, Company Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Share capital buyback covers the purchase by a company of its own shares, subject to statutory limits and procedures. A solicitor in England oversees the process under the Companies Act 2006, advising on solvency tests, shareholder approval via special resolutions, and the regulatory steps to return capital or issue treasury shares. They draft the necessary resolutions and share repurchase agreements, review pricing, and ensure proper accounting and filing with Companies House. The work shapes the company’s capital structure and directors’ fiduciary duties in realising a lawful buyback.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A buyback must satisfy solvency requirements, avoid restricting distributable reserves, and comply with the statutory cap on the percentage of nominal share capital that may be repurchased. The solicitor drafts or negotiates the buyback terms, prepares the board and shareholder resolutions, ensures the pricing and consideration are fair, arranges the distribution of any premium, and handles the regulatory filings, including resolutions and any alterations to the company’s share register and capital that result from the buyback.

Andy Herricks

Tagged solicitor Andy Herricks

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I instructed Andy to help put proper governance arrangements in place for a long-established family land-holding company. The work involved preparing a Shareholders' Agreement and advising on a number of complex issues around share transfers, succession, minority protection and company governance. Throughout the process, Andy was knowledgeable, responsive and patient in answering what was, at times, a long list of questions. He took the time to explain the legal principles behind the drafting, challenged historic practices where necessary, and helped us reach a practical solution that protects both the company and its shareholders. I particularly appreciated that he welcomed questions and provided clear explanations, enabling us to make informed decisions rather than simply accepting legal wording at face value. We're now in a much stronger governance position than when we started and have a Shareholders' Agreement that is tailored to our company and its future. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Andy and Clough & Willis for corporate and shareholder legal advice.

Rebecca McCann

Tagged solicitor Rebecca McCann

Rebecca managed my interests in a share sale / restructuring transaction to facilitate my partial exit from a limited company. This was a fairly complex transaction involving setting up a new holding company, the transfer of shares, the sale of shares and new service agreements for the directors. To be honest I wasn't looking forward to working through the legal process to make this transaction happen but Rebecca (and the team at Forbes) made it seem easy. I can honestly say it was a pleasure to work with them and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Steph Crowther

Tagged solicitor Steph Crowther

James and his team were very good and got my flat purchase done pretty quickly, only complaint really is as some of my deposit was a gift they wanted the gifters life story as well as a fee to process this, despite this already all being approved by my mortage provider. Other than this they were very good and responded to most queries I had within an hour or so and much better than other solicitors than my friends had used.
