Your Team
Understanding Directorship in a Company
A directorship in a company comes with various legal responsibilities that directors must adhere to. The Companies Act 2006 outlines fundamental duties, including:
Acting in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.
Avoiding conflicts of interest that could compromise decision-making.
Exercising independent judgment while fulfilling corporate responsibilities.
Complying with statutory obligations, including financial reporting and governance requirements.
Failure to meet these obligations can lead to legal consequences, including personal director liability. Our expert solicitors provide proactive advice to help directors understand their legal responsibilities and avoid regulatory breaches.
