Directors & Officers

When your liability is on the line…

The obligations of directors and officers (D&O) are numerous, both at common law and also under statutes such as the Companies Acts, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Defamation Act 2013, The Equality Act 2010 and various statutes governing employment rights and obligations.

A director or officer can often be held personally liable and a director’s personal assets and those of their spouses may be at risk.

Claims can be brought from a number of sources including: shareholders, employees, investors, customers, suppliers, regulatory organisations, creditors and competitors.
