About this document
This pack includes all the documents and forms required to adopt new company Articles of Association. If you prefer to amend current Articles of Association, instead of adopting new ones, use our pack entitled ‘Pack to amend Articles of Association’, linked below.
A company's articles of association are its primary governing document. Where many changes are required, it may be easier to start afresh, with a clean slate of Articles, rather than amend and adapt the current ones.
All Net Lawman company documents have been amended to comply with the Companies Act 2006.

Plain language
We write our documents in language that everyone (and not just lawyers) can understand. Not only does this make your task of editing the document easier, but it also decreases the likelihood of another party breaking or disputing the agreement on the grounds of not having understood the terms. Read more about why plain English is important in legal documents.
Easy to use, even if you have no legal knowledge
Many of our customers are lawyers, but our documents don't require you to be one. Wherever it may be needed, our guidance notes explain the purpose of each paragraph, whether we recommend changing it, and what you might like to consider before you do so.
Our view is that, when editing our documents, you shouldn't have to worry about how to add legal wording. So our documents consider a far greater range of issues than our average customer will need, and because we avoid cross referencing paragraphs, we make it easy for you simply to delete what you don't need without affecting the rest of the document.
Support from lawyers if you need it
Our legal team is on hand to help customise a document in an unusual circumstances, or even to draft a document from scratch. Read more about our contract drafting service.
