Corporate M&A - Company Secretarial (UK) - website - banner - image

Overview

Our Company Secretarial team comprises specialists trained on a comprehensive range of UK company secretarial issues. We use fixed pricing options wherever possible to give our clients certainty and security.

Our core product is our UK company secretarial service which enables clients to outsource maintenance of a company's statutory registers and normal annual filings. We also form English companies and LLPs, and offer clients the opportunity to host company registered offices at one of Gowling WLG's UK offices.

What you get:

  • Safe hands - we provide expert assistance on all day-to-day, routine secretarial matters, including annual compliance requirements and advice on procedure and practice at board and shareholder meetings. Our paralegals have extensive experience in this area and are supervised by associates and partners who can step in quickly and advise if a simple matter becomes more complex.
  • Specialist knowledge- we also have extensive experience in non-standard queries such as statutory register audits, advising on directors' complex conflicts of interest, advising on group simplification exercises and other intra-group arrangements. Work of this type is handled by our more senior team members to ensure full corporate governance compliance.
  • Flexibility- for example we have the capacity and flexibility to deal with multiple company formations. We work closely with other parts of the firm and can quickly obtain expert advice if a company secretarial issue requires corporate, commercial, employment or other specialist advice.
  • Matters are allocated according to their needs in order to provide a cost-effective service. Instructions are handled by paralegals, associates or partners, depending on our clients' requirements. Whatever your query, we can support you with all your company secretarial needs, helping to ensure compliance in relation to all aspects of company law and corporate governance - from boardroom best practice to constitutional compliance.

    We act for many UK subsidiaries of international groups.

    Clients choose us because: "The service is always efficient, cost-effective and delivered in a friendly manner. I would not hesitate to recommend them."
