This briefing sets out practical considerations for companies in
ensuring continued corporate compliance during the COVID-19
pandemic.
Ordinarily, the day-to-day running of a company requires a large
amount of human interaction – to hold members' meetings
and board meetings, sign documents, and file forms with the
Companies Registration Office ("CRO").The COVID-19
pandemic, and in particular the restrictions on travel and
prohibition on meetings of more than two people introduced by the
Government on 26 March and which are set to last until, at least,
19 April (the "Restrictions") make the day-to-day running
of a company more difficult but not, generally, impossible. This
briefing sets out practical steps that companies can take to
operate and govern their company as well as to comply with their
corporate compliance requirements during this difficult period.
