Category: Company Law and Insolvency | Duration: 2hr | Tag: VODUKTEMI222 | Type: Video | Speaker: Catherine Hyde | Date: 06/12/2022 11:00
Course Details
Anyone who is a director of a limited company, and non-executive directors, need to understand what their legal duties are to the company and stakeholders. Whilst it’s easy to set up a limited company, many don’t even realise that they are legal duties, let alone what they are and how they might impact them as a director and ultimately influence their decision making.
This session will take you through the main director’s duties, how to comply with them and how to do as much as you can to avoid being disqualified.
In this session, Catherine Hyde covers the following:
- How to identify the different types of directors under the Companies Act 2006 and their respective duties and liabilities
- Recognising director’s duties under other statutes including bribery, insolvency and health and safety.
- Understanding the risks under the Company Director’s Disqualification Act 1986
- Strategies for best practice in complying with director’s duties
- What to do if you are faced with disqualification proceedings.

Catherine Hyde
Catherine is the Founder of HooperHyde. She has worked in the legal profession since 2004 at large corporate firms. In that time, she has acted for all types of clients from individuals to small enterprises and multi-national corporations.
In 2018 Catherine became a self-employed consultant solicitor.
When she started out on her own, she soon saw how many businesses weren’t accessing legal advice at key points in their business lifecycle. Sometimes because it was prohibitively expensive, sometimes because they didn’t realise they needed it, sometimes because they didn’t know what kind of advice they needed or what was available to them.
So, Catherine decided that she needed to offer a service that met all of these pain points. And that’s when the idea for HooperHyde was born.
