Directors' Duties & Responsibilities
 
 

Are you a director of a limited company? The duties and responsibilities of a director are many and varied, and are not always stacked in your favour. We can help you redress the balance and protect your own position more securely.

Did you know?...

  • If you put money into the company, and the company becomes insolvent, you’ll be at the bottom of the list of creditors. Talk to us about how to make yourself a secured creditor.
  • If you breach any of your duties as a director you could be disqualified as a director and even prosecuted for criminal offences. Make sure you know what's expected of you.
  • If you file your company accounts or annual returns late, you’re liable for a fine. Avoid unnecessary costs by talking to us first.
  • If you wish to keep confidential certain personal matters, you need to draw up a private agreement between shareholders, so that these matters (the Articles of a Company) are not publicly available as a matter of course at Companies House. Let us advise you.

Our services include:

  • Tailor-made shareholders agreements to protect your interests
  • Debentures to protect your investment in the company
  • Tax-efficient company sales, acquisitions and restructuring
  • Removal of directors and directors' service contracts
  • Expertise in handling disqualifications, including minimising the length of disqualification and negotiating settlements out of court
  • Specialist advice on directors' duties
