Directors' Duties in Difficult Times, and the Danger of the Ill-Paid Dividend - Webinar

It's bad enough being a director, having to cope with all the duties prescribed under the Companies Act 2006, but recently there have been some cases where directors' decisions to pay dividends has been later called into question, given their companies' subsequent collapses. Remember BHS and Wilco?

What should directors be considering when they decide to pay a dividend? What is the risk to them of paying a dividend that shouldn't have been paid? Where should the money to pay the dividend come from? From whom should the dividend be clawed back - assuming it is even feasible?

This webinar will consider the risks and consequences concerned.
