In England this work spans company formation and administration, corporate governance, share and security transactions, group reorganisations, fundraising and insolvency procedures. Solicitors prepare and amend articles of association and shareholder agreements, draft share sale and asset transfer documents, advise on directors’ duties under the Companies Act 2006 (including sections 171–177), carry out due diligence, register charges and PSCs at Companies House, lodge annual accounts and confirmation statements, and represent companies, directors or creditors in the Companies Court, insolvency proceedings and shareholder meetings.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Company work in England requires handling statutory regimes under the Companies Act 2006 and Insolvency Act 1986, filings and registrations at Companies House including the PSC register, share capital structuring, securities and charge registration, and formal procedures for administration, CVAs, liquidation and schemes of arrangement. A solicitor coordinates drafting of constitutional and transactional documents, engages with insolvency practitioners and regulators, and manages the legal steps that enable or restrain reorganisations and creditor remedies.
