Do I need a shareholder agreement?

If your company has more than one shareholder it is strongly advisable. The agreement governs decision-making, exit, dispute resolution and protections that the model articles do not cover.

Can you support a business sale or acquisition?

Yes — we run share and asset transactions from heads of terms through to completion, working alongside accountants and tax advisers.

Do you offer fixed fees?

Yes, for defined work such as incorporations, shareholder agreements and standard contract suites. Larger transactions are estimated stage-by-stage.
