Company-law advice — Legal adviser — Professionals
Company-law instructions require clarity about whether the client is the company, an individual owner or another party. Providers should establish authority and conflicts before obtaining the corporate records needed to assess governance, drafting and filing responsibilities.
Service scope
Legal advice on an organisation's company structure, governance documents, ownership arrangements and corporate decisions. It is distinct from routine bookkeeping, tax advice and a filing service, although those professionals may need to coordinate on the same transaction.
What is normally included
- Governance-document review
- Advice on company decisions
- Shareholder or ownership-document scoping
- Legal support for corporate changes
What is not included
- Guaranteed regulatory acceptance
- Tax or investment advice by default
- Automatic filing authority in every jurisdiction
Qualification checks
- Identify the legal client
- Verify authority to instruct
- Check entity and jurisdiction expertise
- Identify decision-makers and conflicts
- Separate legal, tax and filing workstreams
Quote guidance
State the corporate question, proposed documents and coordination included in the fee. Separate filing charges and third-party advice from professional time, and explain assumptions about the number of entities, stakeholder negotiations and document revisions.
Lead risks
- Ownership records may be incomplete
- Instructions may conflict with another stakeholder's position
- The transaction may require tax or specialist regulatory input
