directors duties

Changes in legislation have recently increased the personal responsibility of company directors. Browne Jacobson’s legal experts ensure that its clients fully understand all the associated risks and implications and advise on and develop a framework to reduce personal liability.

Viewing compliance with directors’ duties as part of a cohesive and comprehensive risk management policy, the team ensures that a company’s limited liability is complemented with additional measures. The experienced team provides training on how to identify and limit risks and effectively deal with problems if they arise. It can also advise on additional insurance cover.

The team draws on the expertise within the Firm’s other specialist teams to ensure the right advice is provided on all aspects of directors’ duties. This includes corporate governance and fiduciary duties, regulatory matters such as health and safety, environmental and corporate manslaughter, director disqualification proceedings and insolvency.
