Articles of Association are, simply put, the legal rules for how your company is run. They establish the sometimes complex relationships between you as founder entrepreneur, your company and its other shareholders and directors. The Companies Act 2006 has changed the law fundamentally. A new set of Model Articles has been introduced replacing the old standard Table A. It may well be that your Articles could benefit from a legal audit. See our fact sheets on director duties and share issues for more information.
What is in the Articles can decide who wins a power struggle for control of the Board and whether a former Director or employee must sell their shares when they leave.
Often it is only when a serious dispute arises that the Articles are examined in detail and the results can be surprising!
