Most companies adopt whatever constitution was filed at incorporation, or none at all, and rely on the statutory default.
It usually says nothing useful about pre-emption on transfer, share classes, deadlock, or the powers you want reserved to shareholders — until the day one of those matters.
Company Constitution Drafting and Amendment
Drafting or amending the constitution to set share classes and rights, transfer and pre-emption provisions, board composition and powers, meeting and voting rules, and the relationship with any shareholders agreement.
Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support
You build the business. We help you protect it.

Important: Limited Slots
Where a constitution and a shareholders agreement conflict, the outcome is rarely what either document intended. Aligning them is far cheaper than litigating them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?

What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
Do we need a constitution at all?
Not strictly, but the statutory default rarely reflects what shareholders want. With more than one shareholder it is usually worth having.
How is a constitution amended?
By special resolution, then filed. We prepare both.
Which prevails, the constitution or the shareholders agreement?
It depends on the issue and the drafting, which is exactly why they should be aligned rather than left to compete.
