At Adams, our solicitors regularly supply advice to directors on their duties, rights and obligations as shareholders in limited companies.

A director is usually both an employee and an officeholder, and as a result it is often preferable for the terms of employment to be clearly established in a written service agreement. If the director is an independent contractor, this can be achieved with a consultancy agreement.

It is important that all directors of companies properly understand their duties under Companies Acts, common law, and other legislation. Consulting Adams can ensure that you are kept fully informed and up-to-date.

Our litigation experts can also undertake litigation arising from claims of breach of directors’ duties. For further information complete our enquiry form, or call our east London office on 020 7790 2000, or our West End office on 020 7182 4500.
