Director disqualifications - get advice from top class Ralli solicitors

Stephen Fox and his team have gained knowledge and experience over many years of working with individuals and companies in these fields.

Clients often need advice about the bigger picture and the interaction of the various authorities in any investigation and/or prosecution.

The new Companies Act and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, have highlighted the increasing responsibilities and burdens placed upon directors in the running of their companies. We anticipate a good deal of activity by the regulatory authorities in these areas.

Applications to the court for Director Disqualifications are bought by the DTI and periods of between 2 and 15 years disqualification can be sought. 

Matters can be resolved by undertakings being given, rather than full hearings.  Applications can be made for individuals to be directors of specified companies subject to safeguards approved by the court.  Director Disqualifications applications can follow, or be part of, other remedies sought against individuals ranging from high court civil claims and insolvency proceedings, to criminal prosecution.

If you are acting as a shadow director you may also be caught by the legislation relating to disqualification of directors.
