Share capital work covers a company’s issued share structure, classes of shares, and how a company raises or adjusts capital. A solicitor handles share issues and allotments, variations to share classes, capital reductions, and the mechanics of transferring or registering shares. They prepare or review share certificates, update the register of members, draft resolutions and articles for share allotment, and oversee compliance with Companies House filings and the Companies Act 2006 to protect the company and its investors.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor deals with share issuances and transfers, changes to share capital, compliance with statutory requirements, and the documentation that records ownership and rights. They handle resolutions, notices, and registers, ensuring accurate capital accounting, appropriate protective provisions for different classes of shares, and proper filings to Companies House. They may also advise on buybacks, restructures, and schemes affecting ownership and control, with attention to regulatory deadlines and procedural safeguards.
