What this usually involves

Directors owe duties to the company that bite hardest exactly when a business is under pressure. Early advice reduces the risk of personal liability.

  • Duties under sections 171 to 177 of the Companies Act 2006
  • Managing conflicts of interest and related party transactions
  • The shift to creditor interests when insolvency threatens

Common questions

Am I personally liable for company debts?
Usually not, but wrongful trading, personal guarantees and misfeasance claims are important exceptions.
What records should I keep?
Minuted board decisions showing what was considered and why are the strongest evidence that duties were discharged properly.
