Directors: Law and Practice, 3rd Edition

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.

Reviews:

"Directors: Law and Practice adopts a very practical style by using short and snappy sentences and bullet points to make the law easier to follow: this is an excellent approach."

"Directors: Law and Practice is a must-have handbook for both company directors and practitioners; it will prove to be a first port of call with a wide range of legal issues which concern a director, providing key information that concerns a director, of a limited company in an accessible manner. Furthermore it provides a practitioner with an easy-to-read yet comprehensive guide on a wide range of issues concerning directors of limited companies. This fantastic text, now in its third edition, is an easy-to-use and reputable source of information. Hopefully it will be around in its current format for many more editions.”
