The Legal Risk Score of a Constitution for New Companies Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The document allows the Board considerable discretion in managing the company's affairs, including determining remuneration and issuing shares, which could lead to decisions that may not align with all shareholders' interests.
- The document does not specify procedures for conflict resolution among directors or between shareholders and directors, which might lead to unresolved disputes impacting the company's operations.
- The powers given to the Board to refuse registration of share transfers can potentially be used to block changes in the control or influence of the company, which might discourage new investors or affect the liquidity of shares.
