Author Description

Although the role of the company secretary is now optional for UK private companies, additional, different, and more complex obligations necessitate considerable skill to ensure a company meets the current legal requirements applicable to it under both the UK Companies Act 2006, and company law in general. Jordans Company Secretarial Precedents is the ultimate companion and guide to the administration of both UK private companies - whether limited by shares or guarantee - and other private corporate bodies, including community-interest companies and limited liability partnerships. With access to professionally drafted company materials, the user is assured that every document drafted will satisfy the stringent demands of UK company legislation. In this fourth edition, every document and precedent has been thoroughly reviewed to take into account amendments introduced by the new Act. There is also a new chapter on Community Interest Companies, the new legal form for social and community enterprise activities. Jordans Company Secretarial Precedents provides the full range of documents to allow effective administration of any situation, from registering a company to winding-up. The book contains hundreds of expertly drafted precedents, minutes and resolutions, statutory and practice forms, with concise details of their use and content. In addition, annotations provide cross-references to relevant UK legislative provisions throughout the book. The right precedent to use or adapt is easy to find and offers the reassurance that it has been drafted and used by practicing company secretarial experts. A CD-ROM is also included, containing all the precedents from the book and allows for downloading onto a personal PC tailored to specific needs.~
