Clarkslegal will provide an overview of the Companies Law Reform Bill and the impact upon you as a director and your company. This Bill represents the biggest shake up in company law for at least 20 years.
It is designed to remove some unnecessary regulation, to streamline processes, make companies more transparent and give shareholders more interest in the running of companies. It also endeavours to fundamentally change the focus of virtually all previous company legislation that was aimed at large companies.
The vast majority of UK companies are smaller companies and this Bill seeks to address their needs.
Clarkslegal’s seminar will provide an overview of the key provisions in this extremely significant Bill as they affect directors and their companies. Main points covered:
• Directors’ duties
• Enhancing shareholder engagement
• Resolutions and meetings
• Share capital
• Formation, memorandum and articles of association
• Ensuring better regulation
Clarkslegal's corporate lawyers act for a wide range of commercial organisations, from start-ups to multi-nationals.
