Expansion
UK companies – setting up a foreign branch or subsidiary
We have experience helping British companies expand into Italy, Germany, the UAE, Lithuania and more by merging with, acquiring or establishing a local branch/ subsidiary in the chosen country. Documents can often involve the (sworn) translation of the company formation documents including the certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, and directors’ resolutions or board minutes approving the transaction. In the case of a PLC or LLP, we would review the articles of association or LLP agreement to help you ascertain if further documents would be required, such as minutes of an executive committee.
Liquidation
Companies in liquidation
Where documentation needs to be notarised in relation to a company in liquidation, we will need to inspect the notices at the Law Gazette and receive instructions from the appropriate authorised person, which may be a jointly or severally appointed liquidator or administrator.
We regularly work with all the Consulates in London, and we are also members of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, Arab British Chamber of Commerce and Spanish Chamber of Commerce.
