Your legal documents, ready in minutes

Incorporating a company in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 starts at Companies House, where your IN01 registration form and statement of capital set out the company's structure and shareholdings. From there, well-drafted articles of association govern how the business is run, while a shareholders' agreement protects each owner's stake and settles disputes before they arise. If you are going into business with partners instead, our partnership agreement and LLP agreement set out the terms, profit shares and responsibilities that keep the relationship on a sound footing.

Letting property in England and Wales rests on getting the paperwork right from the outset. Whether you need an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) agreement under the Housing Act 1988, the tenancy deposit prescribed information your tenant must be given, or a commercial lease agreement mindful of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, our templates keep you on the right side of the law. Grant occupation without exclusive possession through a property licence agreement, pass an existing tenancy on with a deed of assignment of tenancy, or record an agreed sale, subject to contract, in a memorandum of sale.

Taking on staff in England and Wales means meeting the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the ACAS Code from day one. Set the ground rules with an employee handbook aligned to the Equality Act 2010, and issue the right paperwork whether you need a fixed-term contract, a zero-hours contract or a contractor agreement drafted with IR35 in mind. When roles change, a settlement agreement under section 203 ERA 1996 or a redundancy consultation pack keeps you on the right side of the law.

Planning for your family and your future starts with putting the right paperwork in order. Draw up a last will and testament that complies with the Wills Act 1837, and appoint someone you trust through a health and welfare LPA or a property and financial affairs LPA under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. You can also set out your wishes with an advance decision to refuse treatment, or formalise money lent to a relative or friend with a private loan agreement. Each template is ready to download, customise and sign.

Establishing a charity in England and Wales begins with the right governing document, whether you adopt an unincorporated charity constitution or register a CIO constitution with the Charity Commission. As your board takes shape, a trustee appointment letter sets out each new trustee's duties under the Charities Act 2011, while a trustees' written resolution lets the board take decisions without convening a meeting. When someone steps down, a trustee resignation letter keeps the record straight, and a clear conflict of interest policy ensures personal interests are declared and properly managed.

Time away from work in England and Wales starts with getting the paperwork right. When a child is on the way, our maternity leave request form and paternity leave request form give employers the statutory notice they're due, and the adoption leave request form does the same for adopting families. The right to request flexible working sits in the Employment Rights Act 1996, and since it became a day-one right in April 2024, our flexible working request keeps that application simple, while the Statutory Sick Pay decision letter makes sickness decisions clear. For longer breaks, the sabbatical / career break agreement records exactly what's been agreed.
