The legal architecture of a business, done properly.

Companies are creatures of documentation: constitutions, registers, resolutions, and the agreements between the people who own and run them. When those documents are right, nobody thinks about them. When they're wrong or missing they surface at the worst possible moments: a dispute between shareholders, a transaction under due diligence, a regulator asking questions. We keep our clients on the right side of that line.

We advise on

Company establishment and structuring

Incorporations, holding structures and the arrangements between entities — set up correctly from the start, or corrected once outgrown.

Shareholder agreements

The single most valuable document most multi-owner companies need: how owners make decisions, share profits, resolve deadlock, value shares, and part ways. We draft them before they're needed, which is the time they are drafted best.

Corporate governance

Constitutions, board processes, resolutions and registers that reflect how the company actually operates and satisfy the scrutiny of your funders, buyers and regulators.

Commercial contracts

Supply, service, distribution, licensing and terms of trade drafted to be understood, negotiated to be fair, and enforced when they must be.

Capital and ownership changes

Share issues, transfers, buy-backs, and the admission and exit of shareholders.

Well suited to

Privately held companies at every stage; businesses admitting new owners or investors; boards wanting their governance in genuine order; any company that has grown faster than its paperwork.
