Keep Your Business Compliant and Your Directors Protected
Gurve Legal is a London-based commercial law firm providing company secretarial services to SMEs, growing businesses and owner-managed companies. We handle your statutory obligations so you can focus on running the business, not filing paperwork. From annual confirmation statements to share allotments and board minutes, our company secretarial solicitors give you a legally sound, fully compliant foundation.
Late filings, missing registers and poorly recorded board decisions carry real risks: penalties from Companies House, potential director disqualification, and complications when you come to raise investment or sell the business. We get ahead of those risks before they become problems.

Why Choose Gurve Legal for Company Secretarial Services
Commercial law firm, not just a filing agent We are solicitors, not an administration service. That means we understand the legal implications behind each filing and can advise you when something requires more than a routine update. If a share transfer triggers pre-emption rights or a director change has employment law consequences, we flag it.
Fixed-fee transparency Company secretarial work should not come with billing surprises. We offer clear fixed fees for routine services so you know exactly what you are paying before we start.
Integrated with your wider legal needs Because we advise on corporate, commercial and employment matters, your company secretarial work sits within a firm that understands your business. If a secretarial matter connects to a restructuring, an investment round or a management buy-out, we are already across the picture.
Responsive and straightforward We work with owner-managers and directors who need clear answers quickly. You will have a named contact, direct access to your solicitor and responses that explain what needs to happen and why.
