Joint ventures
Joint ventures can offer a practical solution to business requirements. Usually they involve existing businesses agreeing to join forces to develop a new business. Joint ventures can also help to share the risk of any initial investment.
Corporate governance
The Directors of a company have to understand how the law affects their duties to stakeholders, creditors, the company and its shareholders. Our corporate lawyers advise on all aspects of corporate governance including:
- Incorporations
- Articles of association
- Stakeholder agreements
- Company constitutions
- Statutory books
- Resolutions
- The appointment and removal or directors and company secretaries
- Directors’ duties
- Shareholder rights and structure

Share Capital
Selling shares is the easiest way to change share ownership. Existing company shareholders can buy and sell shares between them or a new party can buy from a current shareholder through a share sale agreement.
Demergers
Often to increase shareholder value, business activities can be separated by the stakeholders into individual companies – a demerger. The team at Newtons offer a full service support to demerging companies, including commercial, dispute resolution, employment, commercial property and private client.
