Company law is an important part of the framework within which companies operate.
The department launched a long-term fundamental review of core company law in 1998. More information on this review is available on the Company Law Review's page. It keeps under review legislation on companies and partnerships and considers proposals for reform. In general, since the launch of the Company Law Review, the conclusions of this work have fed into the review. In some cases, however, it has been possible to implement particular reforms in advance of the outcome of the main review by means of secondary legislation, or through early primary legislation if a legislative opportunity arises.
