A company's memorandum and articles of association are its primary governing documents.
It may be necessary to amend the memorandum or articles of association to update memorandum and articles to accord with current law, especially to take full advantage of the change made by the Companies Act 2006 or by the director indemnity provisions introduced in 2005.
Jordans' services
Whether you wish to make a particular amendment to the memorandum or articles of association or need a full update and revision of memorandum and articles, our services include the following:
- Extraction of all relevant documents from the company’s public file to check the current situation
- Drafting of a suitably revised memorandum and new or altered articles as required
- Provision of the documents required to effect the changes to memorandum and articles e.g. appropriate minutes, notices and resolutions.
- A full commentary explaining the procedures that must be followed to ensure changes to memorandum and articles take place
- Checking and filing of the relevant documentation at Companies House
- Reprinting six bound copies of the revised memorandum and articles of association.
Jordans can also provide additional prints of the memorandum and articles of association of your company. Further copies of memorandum and articles may be required for a wide range of reasons e.g. because resolutions have been passed during the life of the company which need to be reflected (such as a change to the objects clause or to certain provisions in the articles) or perhaps because further copies are needed for new shareholders.
