Adroit's corporate wing is involved in setting up companies limited by shares and advising on buying and selling businesses in India and abroad. We also advise on amendments and implications of memoranda of association and articles of association; shareholders agreements and directors’ and trustees’ responsibilities. We prepare shareholders agreements by reviewing and considering the articles of association to ensure that shareholders’ interests are properly protected. 

In particular, we are often asked to protect the interests of minority shareholders - this involves a consideration of companies’ constitutions and the rights granted in conjunction with the Companies Act . The value of preparing detailed shareholders agreements is realised when shareholders are in dispute. The scope of the dispute is generally restricted by the terms of the agreement.

Our solicitors have well over 20 years experience advising on company and corporate matters. Our solicitors have lectured on proper methods of corporate governance and company law.

Our company solicitors assist businesses in purchasing other businesses whether incorporated on unincorporated. Our solicitors have acted on quite a number of multi-million pound acquisitions and disposals, restructures and demergers in India and across Australia.
