Directors: Law and Practice, 3rd Edition
By Lindsay Mcgregor
Formerly Tolley's Director's Handbook, Directors: Law and Practice, 3ed, is a practical guide to the duties, responsibilities and liabilities of directors of UK companies. It will provide you with an overview of the main legal issues affecting you and your company.
Clear and extensive advice
This user-friendly handbook is an invaluable first point of reference for directors and their advisors in areas ranging from:
- Health & Safety
- Unfair prejudice
- Disqualification
- Competition law
- Insolvency
It makes extensive use of bullet points and checklists to guide directors through the relevant legal and compliance matters.
Covers important new changes
The new third edition of Directors: Law and Practice has been fully updated and revised to take account of the changes brought about by the implementation of the Companies Act 2006. One of the most notable changes is the codification of directors' duties, which were previously only defined by common law.
