Articles of Association
Our Articles of Association are a complete set and a full record of provisions (rather than other versions that simply cross-reference). They are designed for Companies Act 2006 and suitable for most small-medium sized businesses.

Features that differ to the Model Articles include:
  • extra definitions to add clarity and to avoid the need to cross reference to the 2006 Act;
  • provision of a minimum notice period for directors meeting to avoid ambiguity (9(1));
  • setting the quorum at 2 directors (11(2));
  • making it clear that the chair person does not have a casting vote (13(1));
  • full details of a directors duty with regard to conflict of interest (14 and 15);
  • inclusion of provisions for alternate directors as these are absent from the Model Articles (23 to 26);
  • an extension of existing shareholder's pre-emption rights to all share allotments (28(3)) as the 2006 Act confers this by default in only limited circumstances;
  • the fullest indemnity and insurance provisions possible (58 and 59).
