The Institute of Directors launched a voluntary Code of Conduct (“Directors Code”) on 23 October 2024. Directors appointed to the board of a private company in the UK now have even more complex considerations while navigating their role.
This online course will cover the key company law implications when accepting an appointment as a UK director, including a full refresher on the statutory duties of directors under the Companies Act 2006 as well as discussing how best to brief a new director for their role and considering the implications of the new Directors Code.
It is appropriate for trainee solicitors, apprentices, paralegals, newly qualified solicitors or anyone involved in the appointment of a new director of a private UK company.
This online course will cover the following:
- Directors – who is a director, who cannot act as a director and how directors are appointed?
- A refresher of each of the statutory duties together with practical guidance and recent case law considerations
- Key implications for board minutes and other action points to aid compliance
- Consequences of breach including lessons to learn from recent judgement/current failures
- Directors Code
- Q&A
