3:00 pm – 4:00 pm Personal Liability of Directors: When the Corporate Veil Doesn’t Protect You
About this talk
Incorporation is often perceived as a shield against personal liability. However, directors may face personal exposure where duties are breached, conflicts of interest arise, or statutory obligations are not strictly complied with.
This webinar examines when the corporate veil will not protect directors, focusing on fiduciary and statutory duties under the Companies Act 2016, shareholder claims, regulatory exposure, and situations where courts may impose personal liability despite separate legal personality. Join us for a clear understanding of how personal liability arises and the practical steps you can take to mitigate risk at the board level.
