Company secretarial manager

Richard is the company secretarial manager in the corporate team. He advises and assists corporates on a broad range of company secretarial matters including company incorporations in the UK and international jurisdictions, annual compliance obligations, maintaining company registers and dealing with share transactions.

I help corporates to navigate their compliance with Companies House filings and statutory record-keeping obligations during the full life cycle of a company, LLP or UK establishment. I take pride in providing an efficient and diligent service, so directors and their teams can remain focussed on the business.
