The work
Steady corporate counsel across the life of a company — incorporation, governance, ownership change and restructuring.
From incorporation and post-incorporation filings to board governance, share transfers and group restructuring, we act as steady corporate counsel through each stage of a company's life.
We work closely with directors and shareholders to keep constitutional documents, resolutions and statutory records accurate and defensible.

How long does incorporation take?
Registration timelines depend on the registry and on name availability; we give you a realistic date once we have your details.

Do you sit in board meetings?
Where instructed we attend, advise on procedure and prepare the minutes.
