description: Following the full implementation of the UK's Companies Act 2006, directors must be even more aware of the responsibilities and obligations attached to their office and the implications of falling foul of the new law. The Company Director provides comprehensive coverage 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 explained. Now in its eleventh 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 the duty to avoid 'situational' conflicts, the duty not to accept benefits from third parties, and 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 UK's Bribery Act 2010, corporate governance and how it can be made to work, and duty of care and liabilities under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007.
