Corporate governance

We can provide you with a framework to protect and manage your business, ensuring that no matter what size of business, you comply with corporate governance requirements.

Our team of experts advise listed and unlisted companies and their boards on governance requirements and training programmes. We have substantial experience defending clients facing investigation (both companies and directors) and enforcement action by regulators.

We have also worked with UK subsidiaries of global corporate groups on the management and regulation of their UK presence.

We can advise, train and assist you on issues such as anti-bribery, health and safety, environmental and corporate governance compliance, for both unlisted and listed UK companies.

Our expertise includes consulting clients on company constitutions and providing support required for on or off-market fundraisings.

Ensuring that our clients’ UK legal requirements are met, and that they are proactively protected from legal risk, is at the core of what we do.
