Introduction

Establishing or expanding a business in the United Kingdom requires more than a strong commercial vision—it demands a clear understanding of the UK’s corporate legal environment. From company formation and regulatory compliance to commercial contracts and cross-border structuring, access to high-quality corporate legal services is essential for international success.

At Fraser Bond, we support overseas companies, investors, and entrepreneurs with an integrated advisory model that includes corporate legal coordination. Through our partnerships with regulated UK law firms, we ensure your business is legally sound, contractually protected, and structured for long-term growth.


Why Corporate Legal Services Are Essential for UK Market Entry

1. Compliance with UK Company Law

Businesses must comply with the Companies Act 2006, as well as a wide range of sector-specific regulations. This includes:

  • Registering with Companies House

  • Drafting Articles of Association

  • Maintaining statutory registers

  • Filing annual accounts and confirmation statements

Failing to meet these legal duties can result in penalties, legal exposure, or dissolution of the business.

2. Legal Structure and Entity Formation

Choosing the right legal entity is the foundation of your UK operation. Options include:

  • Private Limited Company (Ltd)

  • Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

  • UK branch of a foreign company

  • Holding or Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for property investment

Fraser Bond assists clients in evaluating these options and works with legal experts to complete formation and documentation efficiently.

3. Contract Drafting and Negotiation

From commercial leases and supplier agreements to employment contracts and shareholder agreements, proper documentation protects your interests and mitigates risk.

Our partner solicitors offer:

  • Tailored commercial contract drafting

  • Review and negotiation services

  • IP, NDAs, and licensing agreement support

4. Real Estate and Property Law

Fraser Bond provides direct support on property-related legal issues including:

  • Title review and due diligence

  • Lease and acquisition agreement drafting

  • Option agreements, break clauses, and rent reviews

These services are critical for foreign investors navigating unfamiliar legal frameworks.
