CORPORATE LAW is a complex area of English law encompassing many disciplines. Our Corporate law solicitors based in St.James’s Square in central London have over 15 years of corporate legal experience, including:

• Starting-up a new business in England,
• Dealing with Directors & Shareholders of UK registered companies,
• Constitutional Documents of UK registered companies and Share Capital matters,
• Share Sales & Purchases in the UK,
• Business Sales & Purchases in the UK,
• Loan & Finance provided by UK banks.

If you just set up a new business, as a limited liability company registered in England, you will need to think about the following:

• Directors:appointment and register of directors, conflict of interests, directors’ service contracts, non-executive directors, removal of directors, directors’ loan agreements, directors’ duties
• Issue of shares:majority and minority shareholders, share certificates and register of shareholders
• Company’s Secretary and Administration:Persons with Significant Control Register Shareholders Agreement

In Practice Areas – you can find more information on Shareholders Agreement (agreement regulating the relationship between shareholders in a company registered in the UK).

Joint venture (an alternative business arrangement in which two or more parties agree to pool their resources for the purpose of accomplishing a specific task). Under English law a joint venture has no specific meaning and the commercial arrangement between the parties can take a number of different forms depending on what the parties are trying to achieve. Sometimes a JV will be formed by means of a contractual agreement between the parties (where the parties prefer such a simply, relatively loose commercial arrangement). Alternatively, the parties might wish to have a more formal, tighter structure, in which case they might decide to form a new JV company with the parties being the shareholders.

Loans & Finance, dealing with lenders and their solicitors, arranging and providing legal support with property finance, including mortgages, bridging finance and individual loans.
