We support clients across a wide range of matters relating to directors’ service agreements, including drafting new agreements, reviewing existing contracts and advising on compliance issues.
We often advise clients on remuneration, termination provisions, restrictive covenants and the overall structure of the agreement to ensure it reflects both legal requirements and commercial priorities.
Drafting and Negotiating Agreements
A well drafted agreement provides clarity and protection for both the company and the director.
We prepare agreements that clearly define the director’s role, responsibilities and entitlements, while also advising on key provisions such as notice periods, termination rights and post termination restrictions. We also support clients in negotiating terms to achieve a balanced and commercially appropriate outcome.
Cross-Border Expertise
With many directors now operating internationally, we regularly provide advice on cross-border issues. We support both UK based and overseas directors, ensuring their arrangements are legally robust.
Our expertise includes:
- Advising directors who reside in the UK or overseas
- Drafting service agreements for internationally based directors
- Addressing relocation and overseas residence within contractual frameworks
- Assisting with cross-border disputes and negotiated settlements
Directors Disputes
Disputes can arise where terms are unclear or relationships break down. Early advice is essential to protect your position and minimise disruption.
We advise both companies and directors on resolving disputes, including termination issues, breaches of contract and post termination obligations.
