Appointment and resignation of Directors
The Shaw Gibbs service provides everything required to be legally compliant, including:
- Resignation letter
- Letter to director confirming cessation of office
- Minutes of directors’ meetings
- Notice of shareholders resolutions
- Completion and filing of forms with Companies House.
Shareholders Agreement
A shareholders’ agreement is strongly recommended for privately held companies where there is more than one shareholder.
In addition to the articles of association, this legal document sets out procedures on how the company is run and what is to happen in unpredictable circumstances.
This proactive approach can cover such matters as:
- Shareholder’s rights and obligations
- Dispute resolution
- Protection of minority shareholders.
Variation of share class
There may be commercial or taxation benefits that accrue from amending the share structure of a company. We are able to advise on this and also prepare:
- New articles of association
- Minutes of directors’ meetings
- Notice of resolutions
- Shareholders’ consent to resolutions
- Completing and filing official forms for registration at Companies House.
Amendment of articles of association
A company is legally required to have articles of association, as per the Companies Act 2006. These set out how the company is run, governed and owned.
If an update to your Articles of Association is required, we can:
- Amend the wording of one or more clauses in the existing articles
- Add in new or remove clauses from the existing articles
- Adopt an entirely new set of articles.
