Corporate and Regulatory Compliance Solicitors in London
We are a law firm specialising in company compliance legal issues.
The regulatory regime for UK companies has been updated relatively recently, by the Companies Act 2006. Our corporate compliance solicitors can help company directors and secretaries alike to clearly understand the rules, identify what is important and provide a cost effective one-stop shop for compliance with statutory formalities and procedures.
The regulatory environment is constantly on the move. Fines and civil penalties can be levied on company officers under the Companies Act so up to date knowledge and a diligent approach is required. For example, since April 2016, UK companies must maintain a register of people with significant control (PSC registerPSC Register: in company law, abbreviation for ‘people wit... More). A PSC registerPSC Register: in company law, abbreviation for ‘people wit... More is a record of those who own or control a company. The PSC registerPSC Register: in company law, abbreviation for ‘people wit... More requirement is a Government response to our changing times and has been introduced to counter tax evasion, money laundering and other crimes that could have been easier to commit via anonymous interest holdings in companies.
