Corporate and business structures

Corporate and business structures

We advise on the formation and governance of different business and charitable structures including companies, limited partnerships, traditional partnerships, incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures, incorporated societies, private trusts and charitable trusts.

We work collaboratively with clients and, where appropriate, their tax and accounting advisors to advise on the optimal business structure for use in a particular context. We frequently incorporate companies, limited partnerships, charities and incorporated societies and are adept at managing all statutory registration and annual filing requirements. We are also experts in drafting, negotiating and advising on the operation of core business structure documents including:

  • Shareholders’ agreements, subscription agreements, constitutions and corporate resolutions.
  • Limited partnership agreements and traditional partnership agreements.
  • Incorporated and unincorporated joint venture agreements.
  • Rules and constitutions for incorporated societies.
  • Trust deeds and supporting trustee resolutions for private trusts and charitable trusts.
