Location:

Key sections of the Companies Act 2006 covering directors' duties and shareholder claims are now in force. Both areas impact on company management – from day-to-day decision making to fundraising exercises. Directors need to ensure they do not breach their duties and leave themselves, and the company, open to claims from shareholders.

This seminar covers steps directors should take now to minimise the risk of such claims. Attendees will learn:

• what to do if claims are made
• what the potential threats are from activist shareholders and the credit crunch
• what the arrival of litigation funders in the United Kingdom signifies

Speakers will also discuss how directors' and officers' insurance can help manage risk in different situations.
