The Legal Process: What to Expect
Initial Consultation with Our Solicitors
Your journey begins with a confidential consultation with one of our experienced solicitors. We take the time to understand your business goals, discuss your plans, and identify the legal structure that best suits your objectives—whether a limited company, partnership, sole trader, or another arrangement.
Exploring Suitable Business Structures
Choosing the right legal entity is essential. Our solicitors provide clear advice on the benefits and obligations of each option, including company formation, partnership agreements, and shareholder arrangements. We ensure you understand the tax implications, liability issues, and regulatory requirements involved.
Company Formation and Registration
Once you’ve decided on a structure, The Law Firm Group handles all the necessary legal documentation and filings. This includes preparing articles of association, partnership agreements, and registering your business with Companies House (for limited companies). Our efficient approach minimises delays and ensures your business is set up correctly from the outset.
Compliance and Regulatory Advice
Setting up a business means meeting a range of legal obligations, from data protection and employment law to intellectual property and sector-specific regulations. Our specialist solicitors guide you through these requirements, helping you avoid common pitfalls and ensuring ongoing compliance.
