✅ Update Your Company’s Constitution Legally and Correctly

Need to change your company’s rules, share structure, or governance process? That means you must amend the Articles of Association — the core legal document that defines how your UK company operates. At YUDEY, we provide expert legal support for drafting, updating, and filing amendments with Companies House.

📌 What Are Articles of Association?

The Articles of Association are a legally binding document that sets out:

• ✔️ Company decision-making processes

• ✔️ Powers and responsibilities of directors

• ✔️ Rights of shareholders

• ✔️ Rules on issuing and transferring shares

• ✔️ Internal governance and dispute resolution

When you need to change these rules — due to restructuring, investment, or other needs — a formal amendment must be made.

🔧 Common Reasons to Amend Articles

• ✔️ Adding or removing pre-emption rights

• ✔️ Allowing or restricting share transfers

• ✔️ Issuing different share classes (e.g., preferred shares)

• ✔️ Modernising outdated model articles

• ✔️ Preparing for external investment or scaling

• ✔️ Changing voting rights or dividend policies

• ✔️ Adding protective clauses for minority shareholders or founders

🧾 What’s Required for a Legal Amendment?

📦 What’s Included in Our Service

• Legal consultation on proposed changes

• Drafting or redrafting of Articles of Association

• Preparation of shareholder resolutions

• Companies House filings (CC04 + revised Articles)

• Review of existing Articles to ensure compliance

• Optional: creation of bespoke Articles from scratch

⚠️ Why Not Use Model Articles?

Model articles are basic and not suitable for most growing businesses. Investors, co-founders, and stakeholders often require:

• Special rights (drag-along, tag-along, liquidation preferences)

• Defined dispute resolution mechanisms

• Clear rules on equity, control, and responsibilities

YUDEY helps you move from a generic model to a custom Articles of Association that reflects your business strategy.
