Incorporations and structure


It is vital that documents are tailored to your exact requirements, and it pays to take the right advice. Our highly experienced team get to know your business so that they can advise on the right structure and create bespoke articles of association suitable to your commercial needs.

When setting up a business it is important to be fully aware of the benefits and responsibilities of the different business structures and which one is right for your venture. There are many benefits to incorporating your business – you may be looking to take advantage of limited liability status or require a vehicle for an acquisition or as part of a group restructuring. We can assist you on choosing the most appropriate business structure, from a sole trader right up to a public limited company structure.

We also advise shareholder agreements, share option schemes and we work alongside our full range of legal service teams to assist you with the intellectual property, real estate and commercial elements of starting up a business.

Corporate governance advice


In an increasingly regulated environment, it is more important than ever for businesses to ensure they are on top of their corporate governance and that their companies are managed in the right way, safeguarding their business integrity and maintaining an ethical and sustainable business.

Our Corporate team can assist boards of directors, management and corporate leadership in setting up processes and systems to ensure compliance with all company and director’s duties and liabilities. Going forward, we can work with you to keep you consistently compliant and up to date with changes in regulations and requirements on your journey.
