Directors duties have been codified under the Companies Act 2006. Do you have your finger on the pulse of changing legislation?

Do your corporate governance documents properly reflect the position of your underlying company's directors and shareholders?

Do your company records need a health check?

Some Family Offices will be overseen by a corporate board, including non-family members, who can bring an objective perspective to the system. Corporate governance is increasingly becoming a source of concern for clients - particularly those with international businesses.

A key issue is being aware of the requirements of several different jurisdictions and taking account of them when structuring and running the business. Failure to observe and implement these compliance obligations can result in personal liability for officers and boards of directors.

Our corporate advisory team helps clients navigate their way through the web of compliance issues affecting their businesses. These include rules on board constitution and operation, compliance with Stock Exchange or UK Listing Authority rules, money-laundering, financial services regulation and communication with investors.
