Articles of Association define how your company operates. They outline how decisions are made, how shares are managed, and how directors interact with shareholders. Despite their importance, they’re often overlooked or copied from generic templates without much thought.
At Jamieson Law, our corporate solicitors help you go beyond boilerplate wording. We’ll ensure your Articles of Association are tailored to the way your company works, and that they support both compliance and commercial clarity.
If you’re setting up a company, restructuring, or reviewing your governance, we’ll guide you through the process with advice that’s practical and easy to understand.
Your company’s Articles should be reviewed:
Outdated or unclear Articles can cause legal and operational challenges down the line. We help ensure they’re aligned with your business objectives and fully compliant with the Companies Act.
We’ll draft Articles from scratch or review your existing ones to ensure they support your goals and comply with current law. Whether you’re a startup or scaling company, we take time to understand your needs.
Our team helps define how decisions are made in your company. We’ll guide you through structuring the roles of directors, voting rights, shareholder powers, and other key governance matters. For more support on this, explore our corporate law services.
Generic Articles don’t work for every business. Whether you have external investors, unusual share structures, or unique director roles, we’ll draft Articles that reflect your reality, not just a template.
We make sure your Articles support good governance without creating unnecessary complexity.
At Jamieson Law, we understand that navigating the complex world of corporate law is crucial for the success and growth of your business. Our experienced team is here to provide expert guidance and support across a wide range of corporate legal matters.

Entering a business partnership requires clear, legally binding agreements to define each partner’s role, responsibilities, and share of profits. We draft partnership agreements that set the foundation for a successful business relationship.

Well drafted heads of terms can provide a preliminary framework and outline the key terms of the proposed transaction. This helps to align expectations and pave the way for a smoother negotiation and completion process.
