legal - company secretarial
We can handle company secretarial matters for the smallest companies up to plcs prior to listing on the Stock Exchange. We can also offer company secretarial consultancy for listed companies, where additional support may be required after flotation.
Our approach differs from the traditional, as we can bring in relevant members from our multi-disciplinary team to offer a complete service to suit all of your needs and deal with all of your issues.
Annual routine compliance is usually dealt with by our allocated Account Manager, with more specialist or complex company secretarial work being handled by our Chartered Secretary, Trina Hill or our in-house Solicitor, Liz Hooley.
