Company secretarial compliance, legal compliance due diligence under corporate, labour and environment laws, and drafting and vetting of agreements.
We support boards and company secretaries with meetings, minutes, statutory registers and filings with the Registrar of Companies, and review secretarial compliance against the Companies Act and the Secretarial Standards.
For transactions, listings and new partners, we carry out legal compliance due diligence under corporate, labour and environment laws, and draft and vet agreements. This complements, and does not replace, BDI's integrity due diligence on the people and companies involved.
You need help with board and general meetings, statutory registers and filings, a legal compliance review for a transaction, or your agreements.
