Legal Live! Director Duties & Governance

Описание: Strong governance isn’t just good practice — it’s essential protection for SME directors.

In this Legal Live! session, Client Legal Director Nathalie Romain delivers a practical, jargon‑free guide to director duties and governance, designed specifically for SME leaders who want to protect themselves and their businesses.

With increased scrutiny from investors and ongoing legislative change, this webinar explains what good governance really looks like in practice — and how to get it right.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:
The core legal duties of directors under the Companies Act 2006, including promoting company success, exercising independent judgment, and avoiding conflicts of interest
How proper governance can help reduce personal liability, particularly during challenging periods such as financial distress or insolvency
Practical governance tools, including a clear, actionable governance checklist
What SME directors need to know about upcoming Companies House reforms, including identity verification and enhanced filing requirements
Real‑world examples of good and bad governance, highlighting common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Why this matters now:
Governance standards are under increasing scrutiny, and recent legislative changes have raised the bar for directors. This session provides the knowledge and tools you need to demonstrate professionalism, build trust, and protect both your business and your personal position.

Designed for SME directors, business owners, and entrepreneurs, this session offers practical insight you can apply immediately to strengthen governance and manage risk.
