Training Support Stone King offers frequent seminars and training sessions on

education and company law issues.

Our retainer clients receive a 50% discount on Stone King’s training

seminars, including our company secretary seminar.

Level of ServiceWe will provide you with a prompt and practical service,

responding immediately when possible and always within one

working day of receiving your query.

If we are asked to advise on more complex issues such as mistakes

on the Companies House register, removing governors, conflicts

of interest issues or amending your articles of association, then

this would fall outside of the retainer. However we can assist on

these types of issues at an hourly rate. We can provide estimates

for such work if and when required.

This service is included as a standard service within our Legal

Support Retainer or can be purchased separately.

For further information please contact Caroline Leviss at the

following email address crl@stoneking.co.uk, or by telephone

01225 326796. If you would require a more bespoke service which

may include us acting as your registered office then please contact

Caroline who will be able to discuss this with you and provide

an estimate for such work.
