When legal advice may help

Does your company need a filing, approval or governance decision?

A company may need legal work when it is formed, changes ownership or management, misses a filing, restructures, or prepares to close. The required step depends on the company type, its records and the authority involved.

  • You are forming, converting or restructuring a company.
  • Directors or shareholders need to approve and record a decision.
  • A statutory filing or licence requires attention.
  • The company is considering liquidation or another ownership change.

Before an initial review

What should you prepare?

  • the registration certificate, memorandum and articles;
  • the current shareholder, director and capital records;
  • recent board or shareholder decisions and statutory filings; and
  • the proposed transaction, change or notice requiring action.

What happens after you contact the firm?

A lawyer checks the company records and proposed action, identifies the approvals and filings involved, and prepares the required documents. The company completes any government filing or follow-up requested by the authority.

What affects scope and fees?

Company type, ownership structure, missing records, required approvals and transaction complexity affect the work. The firm confirms scope and fees after checking the documents.

What should you keep in mind?

An incomplete corporate record can delay a filing or weaken evidence of a decision. The company should correct record gaps before relying on an approval, transfer or governance change.
