Despite general concerns being raised in the business community about the economic impact of Brexit, Verisona Law’s Director Tim Reynolds is delighted to report that, after attending this month’s Southampton Boat Show, the Marine Industry is on top form.

Verisona Law is delighted to be welcoming Associate Solicitor, Grant Usher, to its Corporate & Commercial team in order to meet the demand of the firm’s growing corporate client base.

The PSC (‘Persons of Significant Control’) regime was introduced in April 2016 to increase transparency as to who had control of companies registered in England and Wales.

Most UK companies and LLPs now have to maintain a register of those individuals who have ‘significant control’ over them and provide this information to Companies House on an annual basis.

Portsmouth Community Football Club has today released a statement confirming overwhelming support from its stakeholders and fans for a proposed sale of the Club to the Tornante Group LLC.  Tornante are based in Los Angeles and are wholly owned by the Eisner family.  Michael Eisner was the CEO and Chairman of the Walt Disney Company for 21 years. He recently presented his vision for the club to an audience of Pompey Supporters Trust at the Portsmouth Guildhall.
 
Mike Dyer, Chairman of Verisona and a director of the Club and advising on the proposed transaction, confirmed that the Club would now be discussing the next steps with Tornante’s lawyers with a view to progressing the transaction and commented that “there is still a great deal of work to be done over the coming weeks.”
