For in-house counsel, company secretarial responsibilities can be easy to overlook when contracts, disputes and urgent legal matters demand your attention.

But keeping company records accurate, managing board meetings and meeting filing deadlines are essential to good corporate governance.

With a small legal team, staying on top of these responsibilities can be challenging. Clear processes can help you meet your obligations, support board decisions and reduce time spent on administration.

LegalVision's free webinar, Company Secretarial and Governance Essentials for Lean In-House Legal Teams, will share practical ways to manage these responsibilities alongside your other work.

Join us on Wednesday, 25 November, at 11 am GMT, when Sarah Aldersley (Practice Leader) will discuss:

• keep track of Companies House filings, statutory registers and company records;
• prepare board agendas, papers, minutes and resolutions that clearly record decisions and the reasons behind them;
• help directors understand their legal duties and manage conflicts of interest;
• make clear who can approve decisions, who can act on them and who needs to be kept informed; and
• use templates, checklists and a compliance calendar to save time and meet deadlines.
