Svend Littauer

Head of Corporate Legal & HR Department

“I was born and brought up in South Africa by a German mother and a Danish/Polish father. I spent much of my 20s in Denmark, but have been settled in the melting pot of cultures that is London for the past 10 years. With a life story like that, it should come as no surprise that I’m a strong believer in the value of having access to local knowledge. I really cannot emphasise it enough.”

As Head of Corporate Legal and HR, Svend is first and foremost responsible for ensuring our team is in a position to deliver professional, expert services and intelligent, tailored HR solutions. However, he also works closely with our clients, building mutually beneficial relationships based on a thorough understanding of their needs.

Educated in Law and Economics, he is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators.

Company Secretarial & Legal

In the UK, the Company Secretary is an individual appointed to ensure that the business they work for is run in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.

Taking care of all the formal legal and financial aspects of doing business in the UK is essential. It’s a big job, with big responsibilities – from acting as the company’s named representative on legal documents, to providing day-to-day advice on business conduct; from keeping shareholders informed of relevant activities, to ensuring that formal company records are always accurate and up-to-date.

In our experience, these are not things best left to chance. That’s why we offer a full and flexible range of company secretarial and legal services, providing essential support and expert advice at every stage of your business’s development.

HR Planning & Operations

The challenges of employing a UK workforce can be very different from what you’d find in most other European countries. Take the wrong approach, and you could be undermining the very foundation of your business: your people.

When employing British workers, or seconding staff to the UK, it’s important to seek the advice of someone who understands the rights of both employees and employers. A local expert can help you avoid any pitfalls while putting in place the policies, procedures and personnel to give you the best possible chance of success.

At Goodwille, our detailed knowledge of best practice HR and how the UK legal framework applies to employers from abroad means that we can help you to navigate and make the most of this difficult area. This means that whether as your adviser or fully fledged outsourced HR function, we’ll help you to get the most out of your people.
