Taking over full legal maintenance and restoring a company’s good standing

Executive Summary

The client approached Beforis after experiencing poor communication, missed deadlines, and lack of accountability from their previous corporate service provider. Our task was to take over the company’s legal maintenance, restore compliance status, and ensure full continuity of operations.

Our legal team managed to resolve outstanding compliance issues, settle accumulated penalties, and bring the company fully back into good standing.

Today, the client continues to rely on Beforis for ongoing legal, compliance, and administrative support, citing responsiveness, clarity, and trust as key reasons for satisfaction.

Challenge

The client faced several critical issues:

• Non-responsive previous provider, delaying mandatory corporate filings.
• Outstanding penalties from missed deadlines.
• Incomplete documentation, making regulatory communication difficult.

The situation was sensitive because the jurisdiction imposed escalating penalties for non-compliance, and the former agent refused to cooperate with transfer requests.

Our Approach (what we did)

1. Initial assessment & communication plan: we started with a review of the company’s records, identifying missing filings and outstanding government fees.
   
2. Regulator coordination: opened direct communication with local authorities to ensure a transparent and lawful transfer of the company’s administration.
   
3. Negotiation with the former provider: despite initial refusal, our legal team found procedural grounds to proceed under corporate law, allowing the company to regain access to its records.
   
4. Penalty resolution & compliance restoration: all accumulated penalties were reviewed, documented, and settled promptly to reinstate good standing.
   
5. Ongoing support setup: established a clear compliance calendar, quarterly reporting reminders, and assigned a dedicated legal manager to the account for continuous monitoring.
   
   

Result

• Full transfer completed within 4 weeks of engagement.
• All historical penalties cleared and a new compliance schedule implemented.
• Permanent legal support provided by Beforis, preventing future compliance risks.
  
  

The client now benefits from proactive oversight, transparent reporting, and a responsive support model.
