Navigating governance with confidence

We have worked with over 100 companies, including a large number of London-listed businesses, supporting them through the full range of the corporate lifecycle with all its opportunities and challenges. Our team has built a broad range of experience across multiple sectors and situations gained both in house and in professional services which they draw upon to provide proactive, clear and pragmatic advice and deliverables appropriate to the client’s stage of development and resources.

Supporting our clients to achieve their goals

Our goal is to make our clients’ lives easier. We provide clear, practical governance and compliance expertise that enables organisations to operate with confidence, embed effective decision making, meet regulatory expectations (including adapting to new requirements) and manage compliance risk. Our aim is to take away the noise from the executive and create the space for them to do what they do best, while also supporting the wider board to maintain effective oversight of the business.

Governance Services

Specialist governance services for effective board and organisational outcomes

Outsourced company secretary

We provide a full outsourced company secretary function to listed and private companies, working as a member of the client’s in-house team to deliver on key governance and compliance workstreams, freeing internal resource to focus on building shareholder value. We create an environment for effective and efficient decision making and take responsibility for multiple workstreams to maintain that environment through the annual financial cycle as well as managing the compliance with the Companies Act, listing rules and MAR. Clients can select the service level appropriate to them.

Governance projects

We undertake a range of standalone governance projects to support companies in growth and transition phases, as well as to deliver continuous improvement. These include board effectiveness reviews, corporate compliance due diligence exercises, transaction support, governance structure design, board paper development, IPO preparation, governance code gap analysis, MAR compliance, annual report drafting and project management, director training and AGMs.

Compliance

We take care of portfolio statutory compliance requirements including maintenance of statutory registers, Companies House filings and transaction support.

Delivering the right outcome

We don’t just help boards meet their legal and regulatory requirements; we develop and implement practical governance frameworks that scale with the business and support its ambition. We bring the board peace of mind and the executive team more space to focus on growth.
