Company registry checks are one of the cleanest examples of cross-border legal task delegation. The task is narrow, the source is local, and the output can usually be documented clearly.
Define the question
Ask exactly what needs to be checked: existence, directors, shareholders if available, registered address, filings, insolvency status, charges, authority to sign, or historical changes. A broad request produces a vague report.
Request dated evidence
The local lawyer should provide the extract, screenshot, certificate, or official search result with the date and source. If translation is needed, separate translation from legal interpretation.
Explain limits to the client
Some registries are incomplete, delayed, or limited by local law. The close-out note should explain what was checked and what was not available.
For LawyerGo, registry checks are a strong first-task category because they create useful records and clear client value.
