More about Corporate service

AIM and International Exchanges

Listing your company can seem like a daunting task with many regulatory and business hurdles to overcome. We have the depth of experience and access to resources to ensure that you will be best placed to make the transition to the public markets as smoothly as possible.

Company Secretary

Whether yours is a small, private company or a large plc, Pinsent Masons can offer company secretarial support and advice tailored to your specific requirements. The role of a company secretary varies widely between companies, however in most cases the company secretary will be expected to advise on a range of legal, financial and administrative matters.

Corporate Finance

Realising your business goals requires specialist advice and often calls for strategic change. An acquisition, disposal, flotation or overseas expansion may be the single biggest decision you will have to face. We can offer experience and depth of support to ensure your business is positioned for long term success.

Corporate Governance and Board Training

"Corporate governance" is a much used term, but can have a variety of meanings. At its narrowest, it refers to the UK Corporate Governance Code which applies to companies with a premium listing in the UK. More widely, it has become shorthand for the way any organisation is run, with particular emphasis on its accountability, integrity and risk management.

Investment Funds

We recognize that establishing an investment fund involves bringing together a number of different elements to ensure your fund is established as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is important that your fund is structured in a tax efficient manner, is consistent with market practice and that you have a team that is responsive to you and to your prospective investors.

Joint Ventures

Strategic alliances and joint ventures can be key elements of a business strategy. They can provide incredible opportunities for companies to access new markets, share market risk, develop joint IP and implement economies of scale and scope. These can be highly complex and as such can easily lead to a loss of shareholder value if not structured in the most efficient way for both parties.
