If you’re running a company, it’s important to have a governing document for your internal operations and processes. This also makes it easier for key personnel to understand their roles and responsibilities.

These are known as Articles of Association. It’s wise to seek the help of a legal professional when drafting Articles of Association so that they are tailored to your business’ specific requirements.

It’s not uncommon for businesses to make amendments to their Articles of Association. As most companies operate on Model Articles provided by the Companies House at incorporation, it is highly recommended to have a lawyer review your articles and ensure they are fit for purpose as your business matures.

This is especially relevant when you are considering any corporate action like venture capital investment or creating a new class of shares.

If this is the case, reach out to our team and our lawyers will be more than happy to conduct an expert review of your Articles of Association, as well as re-drafting your document where required.

Our fixed-fee Articles of Association Review & Re-draft packages start at £800 + VAT. This includes re-drafting the Company Articles in accordance with your business’ requirements, incorporating the terms of your Shareholders Agreement (if any) and phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer who will confirm your instructions and provide a walkthrough of any findings or key amendments made.
