Defending Company Directors
Blackfords LLP specialises in defending directors accused of failing to fulfil their statutory obligations under the Companies Act 2006.
Such prosecutions are undertaken by Companies House and all cases proceed through Cardiff Magistrates’ Court. Any prosecution can have a significant impact on directors in terms of the consequences of a criminal record and potential disqualification from being able to act as a director in the future. Examples of prosecutions by Companies House can include failures to file:
- Annual accounts
- Directors’ reports
- Directors’ remuneration reports
- Auditors’ reports
We have a team of dedicated lawyers in our Cardiff office regularly advising directors on the available defences. Our solicitors will advise on and engage in communications with Companies House concerning any current or potential prosecution.
