Following the implementation of the Companies Act 2006 directors must be even more aware of the responsibilities and obligations attached to their office and implications of falling foul of the new law. The Company Director: Powers, Duties and Liabilities provides comprehensive coverage, in a single volume, of the powers, legal obligations and responsibilities of executive and non-executive company directors. The complex relationships of directors with fellow directors, the company, its employees and shareholders are fully explained.

Now in its 11th edition, this well respected and established work has been thoroughly
updated to take account of the specific duties set out in the Companies Act 2006 including:

• duty to avoid conflicts of interest
• the duty not to accept benefits from third parties
• the obligation to declare an interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement.

There is also full coverage of the supplementary provisions dealing with remedies for breach, overlap and ratification of breach. This edition includes new chapters on:

• compliance with the Bribery Act 2010
• duty of care and liabilities under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007
