Group Law covers the formation, structure and governance of groups of companies, including parent-subsidiary relationships, intercompany arrangements and group reorganisation. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates shareholder and intra-group agreements, realises cross-border corporate structuring, and advises on compliance with the Companies Act 2006, the requirements of registers of companies, and related regulatory filings. They coordinate with tax and financial advisers to ensure coherent group-wide governance and to manage liabilities across the group.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The work involves drafting and reviewing group intra-company agreements, implementing reorganisations, and navigating complex intercompany liability and governance issues under the Companies Act 2006, with attention to preserving group reliefs and ensuring proper accounting and disclosure across multiple subsidiaries. The solicitor handles onerous due diligence, minute drafting for parent meetings, and coordination with company secretaries to meet statutory deadlines and maintain corporate integrity.
