Company Directors: Responsibilities and Liabilities
- This event has passed.
About the event
The role of a director is a serious one. Many rules apply, there is the possibility of personal liability, much responsibility, and accepting the role is a decision not to be taken lightly.
From the moment you become a director there are legal obligations placed upon you. So, it is essential for all young directors and seasoned professionals to understand the duties of a director and what you can and cannot do.
During this seminar, solicitors from Longmores’ commercial team will;
- Describe how a company with directors is structured
- Clarify the relationship between directors and shareholders
- Outline the duties of directors
- Explain how liability and priorities change the minute you think your company may not be able to pay its debts
- Share tips and solutions to help you mitigate risk so you can focus on your business priorities with a clear understanding of your role as a director.
This event will be beneficial to both new and existing directors who would like a summary about their responsibilities and liabilities, so they understand the rewards and risks of being a director.
Delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers’ after the presentation.
