Corporate Law FAQs
Here are answers to some common questions about our legal services for Corporate Law.
What are the primary responsibilities of a company director?
Directors have statutory duties under the Companies Act 2006, including the duty to act within their powers, promote the success of the company, exercise independent judgment, and avoid conflicts of interest. We provide guidance to ensure directors fully understand and meet these obligations.
Why do I need a shareholders' agreement if I have Articles of Association?
While Articles differ by being public documents that set out general governance, a shareholders' agreement is a private contract that offers specific protections for owners. It can regulate minority rights, exit strategies, and dividend policies in greater detail and privacy than the Articles.
What is the due diligence process in a merger or acquisition?
Due diligence is a comprehensive investigation into the target company's legal, financial, and operational health. It identifies potential risks, liabilities, and value-impacting issues before the transaction concludes. Our team conducts rigorous legal due diligence to inform your negotiation strategy.
How can I restructure my company legally?
Corporate restructuring can involve share buybacks, demergers, or capital reductions. Each method has strict procedural and solvency requirements. We advise on the most tax-efficient and legally compliant structure to achieve your operational goals.
What happens if a company breaches regulatory compliance?
Breaches can lead to severe penalties, including fines, reputational damage, and disqualification of directors. In some cases, criminal liability may arise. We help implement robust governance frameworks to prevent breaches and manage regulatory interventions if they occur.
