In this episode of the DBA Lawyers Podcast, Daniel Butler, Director and Shaun Backhaus, Lawyer discuss what to look for in a company constitution and some of the value-added features of the DBA Lawyers’ constitution.
It pays to obtain quality when obtaining a constitution, especially the many value-added strategies and features that you can obtain from a quality supplier. There are many suppliers of companies that supply generic and poor-quality documentation and many seem to go for non-qualified suppliers. You, especially if you are an adviser ordering a company for a client need to know what to look for. This episode examines why you should make sure the constitution you use is ‘fit for purpose’ and some key points to examine to ensure you acquire a quality constitution; especially as you do not need to pay much more for a quality given the competitive nature of the industry.
Daniel and Shaun discuss several key points such as who has the right to appoint and remove a director, the succession for shareholders and directors and risks from ordering documents from a non-qualified suppliers, especially if you are an adviser.
Daniel and Shaun also cover some of the value-added features of the DBA Lawyers’ constitution including successor directors, guardian shares and the flexibility to operate as a sole purpose SMSF trustee company.
