Entrepreneurship involves risk and this is no different for company directors. Directors undertake to manage their company or association in the best interests of the organisation, but also bear responsibility vis-a-vis third parties such as suppliers, customers, the tax and social security authorities. Courts adopt a strict approach in this respect, even when directors act in a non-paid or non-professional capacity. Ignorance is no excuse and may even be considered an aggravating circumstance.
Cygnus Advocaten will help you understand these risks. Relying on our contractual expertise, we can advise you on how to best and legally limit your liability. As specialists in insurance law, we can provide you with an insight into the extent to which directors can cover their liability. We also have in-depth knowledge of employment law and occupational safety, enabling us to assess the risks for directors who employ staff. In short, we can provide targeted training, expert advice, risk management and legal defence if directors are found liable.
