Company Secretarial
The introduction of the King Codes on Corporate Governance, the 2008 Companies Act and various other regulations has placed a renewed emphasis on the importance of corporate governance and statutory compliance.
At OAK Law we realise that compliance and governance present significant challenges, requiring specialist knowledge and expertise which often comes at exorbitant costs. In this light, OAK Law has tailored both retainer and once-off service offerings, allowing each client to select a service solution that meets its needs and which is “price right” for its business.
