Corporate secretarial for law firms
Law firms differ from most buyers because the practice itself may be structured as a limited liability partnership or a law corporation, and the secretarial scope varies with that structure. A firm may also run service companies for staffing or premises, and lawyers frequently need secretarial support for their own holding entities. The provider should understand which obligations apply to each structure and be comfortable working alongside lawyers who will scrutinise documents closely.
In short: Law firms usually need clarity on which secretarial obligations apply to the firm's specific structure and maintenance of records for service companies and related entities from a corporate secretarial provider. Check the questions below before you choose, or describe your need and get one to five free introductions.
What law firms need from corporate secretarial
- Clarity on which secretarial obligations apply to the firm's specific structure
- Maintenance of records for service companies and related entities
- Prompt filing of changes when partners or directors join or leave
- Resolutions for leases, banking and insurance arrangements
- High standards of document accuracy and confidentiality
- Annual compliance calendar across all entities
Questions to ask a provider
- Which of our entities need a company secretary, and what does each require?
- How do you handle partner or director changes and the related filings?
- How are our documents stored and who on your team can access them?
- Can you work with our internal team who may draft some resolutions themselves?
Pitfalls to avoid
- Assuming every entity has the same obligations leads to missed or unnecessary filings
- Service companies are often overlooked because the focus is on the main practice
- Confidential firm information should not sit in shared folders without access controls
