About company law solicitors

All businesses should have access to legal representation when they need it. Company law solicitors, as their name suggests, have extensive knowledge of business law. Since the last phase of the implementation of the Companies Act 2006 was completed on 1 October 2009 company law solicitors have become even more important. The Act makes many changes to how companies operate, and company law solicitors can help you interpret the Act in relation to your business.

Things that you may want advice from a company solicitor on include:

  • Company formation
  • Company reporting duties
  • Company accounting duties
  • Director's duties
  • Meetings and voting
  • Shareholder's rights

As no two businesses are the same, the legal skills your business may require will be unique. Company law solicitors tend to concentrate on either one aspect of business law, or a few closely related aspects. Good examples include tax and contract law. If you have a specific legal requirement, try and match this to the right company law solicitor in your area.

Before you hire a firm of company law solicitors it is always a good idea to check their credentials. The Law Society of England and Wales must accredit all solicitors working in England and Wales.
