Incorporation and governance
Choice of corporate form, drafting of articles, allocation of powers and voting thresholds.
The approach
The choice of corporate form is not a matter of preference: it follows from the number of shareholders, their relationship to the capital, the social security regime sought for the director and the possible entry of an investor. The firm asks those four questions before drafting, not after.
Articles of association are drafted from scratch where the allocation of powers justifies it, and taken from a tested template where it does not. Charging for bespoke drafting where a template suffices adds nothing for the client; the reverse costs them a great deal later.
