Protecting Directors

If you’re invited to become a director or an officer of a corporation, there are many things to consider, but often overlooked is the issue of what you should do to protect your personal assets from your potential personal liabilities as a director or officer.

The consequences of breaching directors’ duties can be severe. It is important to ensure that expert legal advice is sought, both on appointment, and on a continuing basis. At Birkett Long we advise directors about all aspects of their obligations and responsibilities.

We understand the commercial realities that directors face in carrying out their role. We can help maximise the contribution to the financial success of a company, whilst ensuring that the directors do so within the law. This includes advice on the details of director’s conflicts of interest, to ensure that duties towards the company are not in conflict with personal concerns.

Our corporate lawyers have experience gained at City firms and can help with all questions about the legal aspects of running a company.
