Speaker: Nina Searle, Corporate Partner

As a founder and entrepreneur you no doubt fulfill a number of different roles in any given day, but do you know which decisions you make as the owner of your business and which you make as a director of the company?  Do you know the duties that directors owe to their company, shareholders and more widely under the legal framework that govern their role?  This interactive workshop will guide you through the aspects of a director’s role, and how to comply with the legal responsibilities of being a director, as well as answering any questions you may have about the role and the division of responsibilities within a company.

Who should participate: Founder directors, first time, would be or inexperienced directors

Agenda:

• Share and swap experiences and best practise with your peers
• Understand the multiple roles of a founder and their responsibilities
• Gain a practical framework for solid decision making

Learning objectives:

Understand the legal duties and responsibility of a director in different circumstances. Gain the knowledge and confidence to adopt good, positive governance in your business from the outset.

This interactive workshop will explore the different roles that founders of early stage businesses have to play, being shareholders, directors and typically employees as well.

The workshop will be particularly relevant to first time directors, explaining their legal duties and ensuring that entrepreneurs have the knowledge and confidence to adopt good and positive governance in their business from the outset.
