Corporate Governance
Over the past couple of decades, Irish company law has become heavily regulated and company directors are under increasing pressure to comply with their requirements.
The Companies Act 2014 now enshrines the duties of company directors in a single piece of legislation. Despite this, directors frequently require sound legal advice on corporate governance, whether it is in relation to the validity of a proposed transaction or potential personal liability for the company's debts. We specialise in company law and corporate governance, and can provide quality, practical advice.
Below are just some of the matters in relation to which we have advised company directors:
- the validity of a proposed corporate transaction.
- whether the director were entitled to receive a personal benefit from a proposed transaction by their company.
- defending directors in proceedings brought by a liquidator for restriction and disqualification.
- the duties of the director to his/her company.
- whether a non-executive directour could be held personally liable for the company's debts.
- how to avoid the company's liquidation by creditors.
- disputes between the directors and the company's liquidator and receiver.
- whether the directors could be personally liable for costs of litigiation issued in the name of the company.
