Our experienced staff will help your corporate legal department to earn
your law firm money on an annual basis with very little effort on your
part by including your law firm's group of companies in our
Corporation's Database which will automatically generate a reminder
when annuals are due for each of the Corporations for which you are the
corporate lawyers.
This is how it works...we will attend at your office for
a FREE initial consultation
to assess the systems currently in place at your office to see if we
could work with it or if an actual system needs to be put in place.
Once we confirm what needs to be done, we will proceed as follows:
- We
conduct a full inventory of your corporate practice;
- We
prepare a complete listing of all of your corporate clients which
is then reviewed by you so that you can weed out the files which
must be closed;
- Once
this preliminary review and weeding process has been completed we
create your active companies listing;
- We
would then conduct a minute book review and prepare a limited
summary sheet for each company on the active
companies listing;
- Deficiencies
for each company on the active companies listing
would be reported and handled;
- We
would then enter the companies on your active
companies listing into our database for follow-up
on annual requirements and any business/style/partnership expiry
dates; and
- Annuals
are then handled On an year-by-year basis.
