Description: Directors’ Duties: Understanding Your Responsibilities

In today’s digital world, finding information online is easy, but knowing whether it is relevant, accurate, reliable and up to date can be a challenge.  For company directors, understanding your legal duties and responsibilities is essential, particularly as legislation and regulatory requirements continue to evolve.

Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with Wilson Browne Solicitors to deliver an informative seminar designed to help you understand your obligations, stay informed and make confident, well-informed decisions for your business.

Joining us will be Holly Threlfall from Wilson Browne Solicitors and Gary Pettit from PBC Business Recovery & Insolvency, who will share their professional expertise, practical insights and guidance on key areas of company law and directors’ responsibilities.

Topics covered will include:

Companies and personal liability – understanding the distinction between company and personal assets and liabilities
Company officers – roles, duties and responsibilities.
The Companies Act 2006– key provisions and what they mean for your business.
Why company accounts matter – exploring their wider purpose and value to a business beyond statutory filing obligations.
Articles and shareholder agreements – the benefits, risks and pitfalls
Board Minutes and Resolutions – what must be maintained, why and how to do it.
Company Directors Disqualification Act – understanding the implications for directors when things do not go as planned.

Whether you are an experienced director or new to the role, this seminar will help you strengthen your understanding of your legal obligations, recognise potential risks and appreciate the consequences of getting things wrong. Plus, every attendee will receive a Board Minutes and Resolutions toolkit aligned with the Model Articles—helping you document decisions confidently and correctly.

Join us to gain valuable insight, ask questions and ensure you have the knowledge to fulfil your responsibilities as a company director with confidence.
