We offer corporate governance advisory services to help companies build clear, accountable and ethical frameworks.
How we handle Corporate Governance Advisory matters, and the approach we take to protect your interests.
Beyond our general approach, we adapt our strategy to your business structure and your situation. Contact us for guidance on your specific case.
Designing Your Corporate Governance Framework
We help design and put in place a corporate governance framework suited to your company. This includes articles of association (the company's core rulebook), board charters and internal policies. We draft them to be clear, practical and enforceable, with no conflicts or unclear points between them. We also advise on board make-up, structure and how well it works. We make clear the roles and duties of directors and committees. So your leaders follow best practice and the rules that apply.
Navigating Compliance and Mitigating Risks
We make sure your company complies with all relevant corporate governance codes, listing rules and the rules of your industry. We keep you updated as standards change. We also help build strong risk management systems and internal controls into your governance structure. That lets you spot, assess and reduce risks in how you operate, in finance and in compliance.
Fostering Trust with Stakeholders and Upholding Ethics
We advise on best practice for handling shareholder relations. This covers how you engage with them, general meetings and protecting the rights of minority shareholders. To build an honest culture, we also help you set up full ethics and compliance programmes. These include codes of conduct and anti-bribery measures.
Aligning Governance with Environmental and Social Responsibility
We give expert advice on building Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into your company strategy. This forward-looking approach helps your company meet rising stakeholder expectations and improve its public standing. It also supports sustainable development and creates long-term value beyond financial returns.

Frequently asked questions about Corporate Services
- What do corporate lawyers do during a merger or acquisition?
They protect the buyer's or seller's position at every stage of the deal. That includes due diligence (checks on the target business), structuring the deal and negotiating terms. It also means drafting the deal documents and protecting shareholder interests through to closing. All of it serves one decision. The board or shareholders who approve the deal know exactly what they are buying, and on what terms.
- When should a company get corporate governance advice?
A company needs it the moment nobody can say for sure who decides what. That means which matters the board can settle, which need shareholder approval, and by what process. Governance advice covers board duties, shareholder rights, decision-making, governance policies, internal controls and compliance. Many governance disputes trace back to rules that were never written down or never followed.
- Can a lawyer review a loan or refinancing before we sign?
Yes, and the review is most useful before terms are fixed. We check the loan structure, repayment terms, security arrangements (assets pledged to the lender) and the contract duties that follow the money. We also compare refinancing options where existing debt no longer suits the business. The review also confirms who has the power to sign, because whoever signs commits the whole company.
- What does a legal and financial audit of a company cover?
It looks at the company's contracts, liabilities (what it owes), compliance position, financial records, risks, governance and business duties. Clients order one before buying or investing in a business. Owners also order one on their own companies to find problems while they are still small. The result is a clear picture of what the company really holds and owes.
