The globalised marketplace brings with it an increasingly demanding regulatory framework for directors to navigate. Good corporate governance, transparency and accountability are key, together with having the right people at their helm. Directors need to understand their duties and potential exposure.
Our team of specialist contentious and non-contentious lawyers offers advice tailored to the specific needs of the stakeholders in any business. As a result, directors, shareholders, partners and owner-managers can work together and without fear of what the future may hold. We can assist with day-to-day operational activities, such as drafting agreements, and advising on ever-changing and expanding powers, duties and liabilities of directors. We can help to audit and transform existing corporate governance practices, to make sure that the directors are fulfilling their obligations, and to identify and fix issues before a challenge is made. If there is a dispute between the stakeholders around partnership or shareholding for example, or from outside - such as regulatory or governmental action, we can help resolve these issues speedily and practically. In the same way, we can anticipate and head off potential disputes.
