Company law and corporate governance

An introduction and overview to company law and corporate governance

We understand that the administration and governance of a company can be time consuming and sometimes difficult. That’s why we provide our clients with straightforward, comprehensive advice, written in plain English.

After discussing your requirements over the phone (we do not usually charge for a brief initial consultation), we will take the approach which suits you and your business. This can range from providing detailed guidance and preparing minutes and resolutions, to the provision of more informal company law advice.
