Directors' duties
Our solicitors supply advice to directors on their rights and obligations as officeholders in limited companies. Appointment as a director should not be accepted without an understanding of the duties existing under the Companies Acts, other legislation and under the common law.
A director is usually an employee as well as a officeholder and it is often prudent for the terms of employment to be set out clearly in a written service agreement or where the director is an independent contractor in a consultancy agreement.
Solicitors here undertake litigation arising from claims of breach of directors' duties and are experienced in the defence of disqualification proceedings brought against directors by the Department of Trade & Industry.
