Liability of company directors

Being held liable in your capacity as the director of a limited company can easily be a very serious business. Indeed, you could even be held liable for all the debts of a bankrupt company whose director you are, or once were.

So there’s every reason for preventing such a situation from arising. We advise company boards on how to limit the risks.
