Whether you wish to set up a new company or to restructure an existing one, our specialist Corporate solicitors can help you to arrange the entity to suit your needs - fitting your commercial requirements and benefitting your company economically.

However, before a company is formed on your behalf, we should investigate whether - for your particular circumstance - a company is actually the best trading vehicle for what you aim to achieve.

In the process of this study, our lawyers will advise on whether the most suitable option for you would be:

• Company;
• Partnership;
• Sole tradership;
• Limited liability partnership; or
• Co-operatives (including businesses run along the “John Lewis” model).

Once you have identified the appropriate business type, we can undertake all legal work involved in getting the business set up including acquiring an off-the shelf-company, drafting the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Partnership Deed, in order that you can start trading as soon as possible.
